Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Nordman who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Nordman offers a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery 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 strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
