Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Ridgewood, NJ.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Ridgewood are managed by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse recovery program.
