Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - East Rockaway, NY.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as 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 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 may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in East Rockaway are run by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in an addiction treatment program.
