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

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to 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 people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Chatham are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
