For an individual 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 he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Columbia, Louisiana supplies a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts 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 strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
