Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Burlington, IL.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision 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 striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Burlington are managed by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
