Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Newark, IL.

When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Newark are managed by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person 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 comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
