Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in Waves who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs and 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 endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Waves offers a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
