What is a halfway house?
A halfway house is a sober structured living environment where people in early recovery from drugs and alcohol have the opportunity to create their newfound life and freedom by changing attitudes actions and behaviors through the rules and discipline. In most cases, a sober living house is and should be gender specific in both its residents and staff. Random drug testing is mandatory. Most halfway houses have a weekly in-home meeting and require regular 12 step meeting attendance.
Halfway houses in Delray Beach Florida are not treatment centers, rather they are a continuation of care for those who have completed a treatment program. Unfortunately at this time sober houses are not licensed by the state of Florida. Typically a sober house is started by someone who has gained a substantial amount of time and recovery in a 12 step program and desires to help those who are in need of making necessary life changes to begin their process of recovery. In coming years licensure will probably come into place and will assist with the regulation of how these operations are ran.
Selecting the right halfway house can be tricky. Not all sober living environments are created equal. A few key points to keep in mind are: does this facility have a staff, what are they like, what are their qualifications, how much time and recovery do they have, where is the facility located, what are the rules, how long have they been in business, are they gender specific, how long is the commitment of residency, are they close to jobs, are they close to meetings, what is the minimum requirement for residency, where do they get most of their clients, how do they handle a relapse? All of these questions and more should be asked when selecting the proper facility.
Those who are successful in a halfway house in Delray Beach, usually move forward with their lives in a successful fashion within a matter of months. A residential commitment at a sober living facility is usually between three and six months. Those who complete their commitment are more likely to succeed with their sobriety. Alternatively, those who do not follow the rules or complete their commitment usually don't stay sober.
