Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Pasadena, California who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need time to fully re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Pasadena provides a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little 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 obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
