Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for recovering individuals in Ellijay who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Ellijay supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
