Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Hickman who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For a person who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Hickman supplies a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
