Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Jamestown who have completed a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Jamestown supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
