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

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful 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 live in a clean and sober and healthy environment 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 individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shawneetown are run by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment program.
