Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Carmel who have graduated a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Carmel offers a safe atmosphere where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 stable employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
