Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Somerville, NJ.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting 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 someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Somerville are operated by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse recovery program.
