Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Essex, NY.

When someone has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Essex are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
