Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Shrub Oak, NY.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do 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 Shrub Oak are operated by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse rehab facility.
