Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Samoa who have completed a drug rehab program but still need 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 especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Samoa supplies a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a fruitful and happy life.
