Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - St. Joseph, LA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. 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 positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, 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, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in St. Joseph are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
