Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Okaton who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-adjust to normal life and the real world. For a person 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 endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Okaton offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can little by little become at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. 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 stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
