Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Elwood, NJ.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Elwood are run by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
