Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Oakland, TN.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back 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 a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and healthy 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 for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Oakland are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse treatment facility.
