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

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back 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 supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Downs are managed by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
