For an individual who has abused drugs or 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 Foster offers a safe atmosphere where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can slowly become at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 stable employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
