Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Houston who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still need time to fully re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For someone 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 Houston provides a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly become at ease with the idea of restoring 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.
