Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - River Forest, IL.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive 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 sober and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in River Forest are operated by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants 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 isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
