Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for individuals in Cambridge who have completed a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate 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 feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Cambridge supplies a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become at ease with the process of restoring 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
