Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Newtown who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular 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 seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Newtown provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can slowly grow to be at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
