Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Hume who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Hume provides a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
