Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Alplaus who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need time to fully re-acclimate 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 seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Alplaus provides a safe atmosphere where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can little by little become at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in 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 shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
