Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Arab who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Arab offers a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can slowly become at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
