Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for individuals in Pasadena who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Pasadena offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly grow to be at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in 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 shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
