Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Oden who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-adjust to normal life and the real world. To someone who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Oden provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
