Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Newport News, VA.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a sober and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Newport News are managed by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
