Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Orwell, Vermont who have graduated a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To a person 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 one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Orwell offers a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
