Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Atkins, VA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting 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 someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Atkins are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehab program.
