Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for individuals in Boelus who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To someone who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Boelus offers a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can slowly grow to be comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
