Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Avella who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehab program but still require time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For a person who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Avella provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
