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

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery 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 condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents 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 employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Covington are operated by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long 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. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
