Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Herrick who have completed a drug or alcohol rehab program but still need time to fully re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Herrick offers 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 idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. 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 obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
