Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in New Harmony 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 an individual 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 he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in New Harmony supplies a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery 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 chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
