Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Winnetka, IL.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Winnetka are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
