Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for recovering individuals in Arco who have completed a drug or alcohol rehab program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To someone who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Arco supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery 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 strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
