Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Presidio who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual 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 he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Presidio offers a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation 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 recovering addicts can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
