Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Springfield who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To an individual who has abused drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Springfield provides a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little grow to be comfortable with the process of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to receive individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
