Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Portland, NY.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't 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 known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Portland are operated by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse rehab facility.
