Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Shelburne who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Shelburne, Vermont offers a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
