Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Houston who have completed a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Houston provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can slowly grow to be at ease with the process 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 have a fruitful and happy life.
