Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Rhode Island who have graduated a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. To a person who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Rhode Island provides a secure setting where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little become at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. 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 find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
