Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in South Dakota who have completed a drug rehab program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in South Dakota offers a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can slowly become 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 one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
