Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Vernon, VA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they can live stably 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 make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Mount Vernon are managed by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
