Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Otoe who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Otoe offers a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in individualized 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 lead a successful and happy life.
