Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Sonoma, California who have completed a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. For an individual who has used drugs or 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 the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Sonoma provides a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
