Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Ponsford who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-adjust to normal life and the real world. To someone who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Ponsford supplies a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little become comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. 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 find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
