Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Burgess, VA.

When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive 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 someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Burgess are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
