Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - DHS, VA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in DHS are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
