Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - River Edge, NJ.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in River Edge are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction rehab facility.
