Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Chicago Ridge, IL.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Chicago Ridge are managed by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
