Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Salem, MO.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Salem are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehab program.
