A group home for anyone who has tbeen involved with alcohol and drug abuse is a facility which offers continuous support and help for those in recovery. A group home is usually for troubled adolescents, but in addition there are group homes for people with a mental health disorder or who are experiencing behavioral trouble for example. Instead of sending individuals who are being affected by substance abuse or recovering from drug abuse to an orphanage, asylum and other similar place, a group home may help provide an acceptable environment to help maintain stability inside their lives and have counsel and assistance within reach 24/7. People who reside in the group home may be getting involved in treatment services during residence, or might be taking actions to get their life set up outside of the group home to be able to at some point live independently not in the group home. For instance, a troubled youth who has been in recovery or has recovered from substance abuse can work on getting their GED or obtain work. A group home is not necessarily a long-term or permanent option, but it is a viable temporary option for many who are trying to get their lives back together again.
