About The Link Halfway House
Treatment is grounded in the 12-step model and the whole-person approach. Each resident receives an individualized plan that includes individual and group counseling, psychoeducation classes, relapse prevention, employment coaching, and life skills training. Licensed counselors and peer recovery staff work closely with residents to help them build emotional wellness, responsibility, and long-term recovery skills.
Residents live in a safe, home-like facility staffed 24/7. They are expected to work 40 hours weekly or volunteer 20 hours if on disability, and manage their own medications. After graduation, alumni receive free outpatient therapy and can join a supportive alumni group. Most continue recovery through the nearby Lincoln or Truman Houses, which extend structure and peer connection.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Link Halfway House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options
Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.
The Link Halfway House offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.
The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
