Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Atkins, IA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Atkins are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
