Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Pickens who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Pickens supplies a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive individualized 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 have a productive and happy life.
