Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Portland, TN.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Portland are managed by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehab program.
