Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lakewood, IL.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants 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 Lakewood are run by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
