Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for recovering individuals in The Village who have completed a drug or alcohol rehab program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in The Village provides a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts 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 strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
