Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Houghton, NY.

When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live stably 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 make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Houghton are managed by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment facility.
