Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Menlo who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Menlo supplies a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in 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 have a fruitful and happy life.
