Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Northwood, IA.

When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Northwood are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
