Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in De Leon who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in De Leon offers a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea of rebuilding 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 good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
