Transitional housing in Echola supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become at ease with the process of rebuilding 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 good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
