Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Madison who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehab program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Madison provides a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
