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

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Oakland are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
