Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Essex Fells, NJ.

When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Essex Fells are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
