Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Johnstown who have completed a drug treatment 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 especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Johnstown supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
