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

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a sober and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Equality are managed by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
