Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Stratford who have graduated a drug rehab program but still require time to fully re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Stratford offers a safe haven where individuals who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little become at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
