Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Jefferson who have graduated a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To a person who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Jefferson supplies a safe atmosphere where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery 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 strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
