Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gurnee, IL.

When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again 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 place where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and healthy 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 someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Gurnee are managed by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
