Transitional housing in Lakewood supplies a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
