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

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Medinah are operated by people who in most 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 comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
