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

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Westchester are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
