Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Atlantic Highlands, NJ.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Atlantic Highlands are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction treatment facility.
