Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Newark, California who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Newark supplies a safe haven where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive 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.
