To someone who has abused 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 get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Franklin provides a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly become comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
