Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Merrifield, VA.

When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Merrifield are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
