Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hammond, NY.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Hammond are operated by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse treatment facility.
