Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Pocola who have graduated a drug treatment program but still require time to fully re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To an individual who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Pocola supplies a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea 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 obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
