Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Gwynn Oak, MD.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and healthy 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 the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Gwynn Oak are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live 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 before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
