Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Westfield, NJ.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Westfield are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
