Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Albany, Oregon who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Albany supplies a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
