Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Portland, OH.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Portland are operated by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
