Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Springfield Gardens, NY.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Springfield Gardens are run by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse treatment program.
