Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for individuals in Matheny who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To someone who has abused 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 endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Matheny supplies a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in 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 have a successful and happy life.
