Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Portlandville who have graduated a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For 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 endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Portlandville supplies a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in individualized 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 fruitful and happy life.
