Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Carmel who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs and 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 get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Carmel offers a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts 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 good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
