Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Somerville who have completed a drug or alcohol rehab program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular 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 seem like a formidable place now that one has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Somerville provides a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab experience can slowly grow to be comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in 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 have a productive and happy life.
