Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for recovering individuals in Portage who have graduated a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has abused drugs or 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 get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Portage supplies a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little grow to be at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to receive 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 strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
