Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Long Island, VA.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable 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 drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents 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, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Long Island are run by individuals who in many cases were once residents 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. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehab facility.
