Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Matthews, MO.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Matthews are managed by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehab facility.
