Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Thompson Ridge who have graduated a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to regular 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 seem like a daunting place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Thompson Ridge supplies a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals 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 shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
