Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Lawai who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehab program but still require time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Lawai offers a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals 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 good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
