Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Athens, NY.

When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Athens are managed by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The duration a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
