Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Palco who have completed a drug treatment 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 particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Palco supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 find steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
