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

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Barstow are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
