Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Rosedale who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For a person who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Rosedale provides a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals 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.
