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

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting 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 someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Somerville are managed by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse rehab program.
