Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in San Ysidro who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To someone who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in San Ysidro supplies a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized 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.
