Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Black Mountain who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To 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 he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Black Mountain offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
