Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Washington, ME.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Washington are run by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
