Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Egypt who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehab 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 particularly 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 Egypt supplies a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
