Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Amherst, NY.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Amherst are operated by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
