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

When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a sober and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Summit are operated by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
