Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Halifax, VA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Halifax are run by people who in many instances were once tenants 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 must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction recovery program.
