Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. James, NY.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in St. James are managed by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
