Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Port Leyden, NY.

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Port Leyden are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
