Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in East Burke who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in East Burke provides a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
