Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Portlandville, NY.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. 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 healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may 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 sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Portlandville are operated by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
