Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Columbia, NJ.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Columbia are managed by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
