Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Ashburnham who have completed a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Ashburnham provides a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized 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 have a successful and happy life.
