Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Austin, MN.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Austin are managed by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse recovery facility.
