A group home for anyone who has tbeen involved with alcohol and drug abuse is a facility which provides continual support and assistance for people in recovery. A group home is ordinarily for troubled youth, but there are also group homes for people with a mental health problem or who are experiencing behavioral problems for example. Rather than sending individuals who are being affected by substance abuse or recovering from substance abuse to an orphanage, asylum or other similar facility, a group home can help provide an appropriate environment to help sustain stability within their lives and also have counsel and assistance within reach 24/7. People who reside within a group home might be taking part in rehabilitation services during residence, or may be taking measures to get their life setup outside the group home to be able to at some time live on their own outside of the group home. As an example, a troubled youth who may have been in recovery or has recovered from substance abuse can try to get their GED or obtain work. A group home is not necessarily a long-term or permanent solution, but it is a feasible short-term option for those who making the effort to get their lives back together again.
