Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Columbia, SC.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Columbia are run by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
