Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for recovering individuals in Ahwahnee who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To someone who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Ahwahnee provides a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become at ease with the process of restoring 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 obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
