Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - East Elmhurst, NY.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in East Elmhurst are managed by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction recovery facility.
