Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Colchester who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Colchester offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly grow to be at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
