Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Newport, VT.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals 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 condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Newport are run by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
