Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Newport, NY.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back 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 go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Newport are operated by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehab program.
