Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ellington, MO.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and healthy 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 could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Ellington are run by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual 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 prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
