Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Lena who have completed a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Lena supplies a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
