Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in Russell who have graduated a drug or alcohol treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To a person who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Russell provides a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
