Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Polaris who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Polaris supplies a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little become at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
