Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in New Lisbon who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in New Lisbon provides a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
