Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Lykens who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly 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 Lykens supplies a safe haven where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly become comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
