Hearing the word "home," brings to mind different things for different people. Maybe it's the warm memories of family. Maybe its sweet shelter from a summer thunderstorm. Maybe it's the embrace of four welcoming walls where you can let down your guard. But for people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, a stable home can actually mean the difference between relapsing on the street and re-entering society. It can mean the difference between getting high and getting to climb higher on that corporate ladder. And it can mean the difference between wasting a life and walking boldly towards the future.
For people struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, halfway (or "transitional") housing is the first important step after being released from an inpatient treatment facility. It's a residence, but it also is able to provide (in-house) many of the medical, psychiatric, social, and educational services that are crucial for drug abusers to learn to resist temptation and keep their sobriety. These structured residences are a place for them to stabilize their life, to commit to staying sober, and to be accountable to others who are also struggling with addiction. Transitional housing time limits vary, but they usually involve a temporary stay of up to 24 months, and typical house rules include doing house chores, respecting others in the house, maintaining regular employment (or continuing to seek employment,) and respecting the house curfew. For former addicts this kind of structured living is an absolute necessity.
If you or someone you love is transitioning out of treatment for addiction, Delaware has multiple resources to help you find the housing option that is right for you. Transitional housing is an oh-so-crucial step on the road to lifelong sobriety (and to re-entering society) and will greatly increase the chances that you will succeed.
