Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Des Plaines, IL.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Des Plaines are operated by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse treatment facility.
