Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Independence, VA.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Independence are managed by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
