Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Downsville who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Downsville offers a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
