Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Athens, IL.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up 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 a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Athens are managed by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction treatment program.
