- One method of OxyContin withdrawal is to treat each individual symptom with a non-opiate medication; this is the most common approach in an inpatient environment.

Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Chalmette who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-adjust 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 Chalmette supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly grow to be comfortable 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 strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
