Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for recovering individuals in Art who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need 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 formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Art offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in 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 successful and happy life.
