Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Altha who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Altha offers a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
