Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Petersburg, IL.

When someone has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after 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 get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Petersburg are operated by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse recovery facility.
