To an individual who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in New Richmond supplies a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
