Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Birchwood, TN.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Birchwood are managed by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
