Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Amherst, VA.

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive 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 recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Amherst are operated by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
