Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Jackson who have completed a drug or alcohol rehab program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs and 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 Jackson provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea 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 successful and happy life.
