Transitional housing in Sherrill supplies a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to receive one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
