Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Gunpowder, MD.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Gunpowder are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse rehab facility.
