Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Lucien who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Lucien offers a secure setting where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can little by little become at ease with the idea 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 stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
