Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Acton who have completed a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Acton supplies a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become at ease with the idea of restoring 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 stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
