Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Petersburg, VA.

When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Petersburg are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay 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 before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in an addiction recovery program.
