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

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might decide 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 repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Mattoon are managed by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
