Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Bison who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Bison supplies a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
