Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Washington, VA.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery 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 person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Washington are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment facility.
