Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for recovering individuals in Somonauk who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For a person who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Somonauk offers a secure setting where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can little by little become at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in individualized 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 fruitful and happy life.
