Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ripplemead, VA.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Ripplemead are run by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment facility.
