Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Joseph, IL.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free 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 might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in St. Joseph are operated by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an addiction recovery program.
