Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Big Sandy who have graduated a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Big Sandy provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
