Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Uncle Sam, LA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting 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 individual might make the decision 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 working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Uncle Sam are managed by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehabilitation program.
