Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Ferris who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly 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 Ferris 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 becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
