Lenexa, Kansas, is a community located in the center of Kansas’ largest city. Known as the gateway to Kansas City, it is a place that attracts thousands of visitors annually because it has something for everyone – beautiful scenery, museums, outdoor activities, and great food. With all of its qualities, the people of Lenexa are constantly looking for ways to make their homes more “sober” and healthier – by getting inside and creating a more positive lifestyle for themselves. And for that, they have several programs available: One of the most well-known of these programs is halfway house, also known as transitional living. This program offers clean, healthy living spaces with no drugs or alcohol, and people are given the opportunity to get back to living their normal, drug-free lives. If a person has struggled with drugs or alcohol in the past, they can try to transition into a halfway house. People in this program will also learn valuable life lessons from people who have gone through the process – the people who helped to create it. Interventions are also often provided to those who have newly broken homes that they are trying to keep clean and sober. Another aspect of halfway houses is their support system – the people who help a person or a family get through the transition period and keep moving forward. At a popular center, called the Family House, clients find so much support that they feel safe to talk about their problems without feeling embarrassed or ashamed. Other centers might have an outside counselor to talk to each other during the day. Those who live in a halfway house might not even realize that they are in a recovery environment – they think that they are simply in a different part of town, living in a different house. Programs like the one at the Family House provide all the information a person or family needs to get the best possible treatment and the highest possible chance of recovery.
