Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - New York City, NY.

When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in New York City are managed by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to stay 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 prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
