Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Shelter Island, NY.

When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again 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 a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shelter Island are run by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
