Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Orcas, WA.

When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy 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, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Orcas are operated by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse treatment facility.
