Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Big Flat who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-adjust to normal life and the real world. To a person who has used 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 Big Flat provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
