Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Holden who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Holden offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in one-on-one 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 productive and happy life.
