Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Appalachia, VA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to 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 a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and healthy setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Appalachia are operated by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo 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 handled in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
