Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Seaside who have completed a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular 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 Seaside provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can little by little become comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals 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 productive and happy life.
