Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for individuals in Cooper who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Cooper provides a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
