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

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Murphysboro are managed by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
