Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for individuals in Elmo 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 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 alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Elmo provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be at ease with the process 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 find steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
