Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Hope who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal 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 he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Hope supplies a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
