Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for recovering individuals in Topanga who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Topanga provides a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation experience can little by little become comfortable with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
