Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - New Athens, IL.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and 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 New Athens are operated by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
