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

When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Ellsworth are run by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
