Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Counselor, NM.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may make the decision 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 striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Counselor are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
