Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mount Vernon, NY.

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Mount Vernon are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
