Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Minneapolis who have completed a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For a person who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Minneapolis offers a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can slowly grow to be at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts 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 good shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
