Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Monrovia who have completed a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Monrovia offers a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
