Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for recovering individuals in Dema who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To an individual who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Dema supplies a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process 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 recovering addicts can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
