Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Greenbush who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To someone who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Greenbush provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little become at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
