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

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and healthy 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 could 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 clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Portsmouth are run by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
