Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Akiachak who have graduated a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Akiachak supplies a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become at ease 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 find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
