Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Seattle who have completed a drug treatment program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Seattle provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
