Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wilkinsburg, PA.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment 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 the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Wilkinsburg are managed by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
