Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Houston, PA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Houston are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual 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 undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
