Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Desert, ME.

When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Mount Desert are run by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
