Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Gate City, VA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Gate City are managed by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse recovery program.
