Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in Hawaii National Park who have graduated a drug rehab program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs or 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 get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Hawaii National Park provides a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
