Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in Montegut who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To someone who has abused 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 alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Montegut provides a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
