Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Friend who have graduated a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To a person who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Friend offers a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
