Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in New Lebanon who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To someone who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in New Lebanon provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
