Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for individuals in Salem who have completed a drug rehab program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs and 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 Salem supplies a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation 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 recovering addicts can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
