Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Long Beach who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-adjust to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Long Beach offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
