Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Pine Knot who have graduated a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to completely 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 he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Pine Knot provides a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be at ease with the process 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 find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
