Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Durham who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still need time to completely re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs or 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 endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Durham supplies a safe haven 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 on their own. While in transitional housing individuals 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 strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
