Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Alpha who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehab program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Alpha offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding 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 stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
