Question by cindysv764: How does a court ordered drug rehab halfway house program work? What is the process and procedures?
I like to know the length of the program, the process and prcedures? My boyfriend is sent to one, he was setenced to 365 days and his release date is Nov. 21 2006, but he is to do the program instead of the time. He has 2 mths credit time served already. Basically how long is the program’s process, when will he began to have visits and phone calls? Ect. He is determined to succeed in this program but I like more info because I want him back home asap! Can anyone help give me answers? PLEASE!
This halfway house is in Fresno Ca. I was unable to find any info online. I know there is a blackout period, someone told me it was 30 days but if it is anything like the group homes my daughter was in they had a 10 day blackout period. If the stay is only 4 mths that is great! The home had picked him up from county Friday and I have not heard from him since and it’s frusturating not knowing whats going on.

I used to work in a halfway house, the process is usually different in different states here in California judges would order people to do a year but are almost always out in 4 months max. as far as phone calls and visits, that is up to whoever runs the home so you’d have to get that info from the Program Director but it’s usually a two week wait.
