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

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place 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 condition of a person's parole for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shacklefords are managed by people who in most instances 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 are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
