Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Newbern who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Newbern supplies a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive 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 have a fruitful and happy life.
