Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Victoria who have graduated a drug treatment program but still need 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 feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Victoria offers a safe haven where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can slowly become comfortable with the idea of restoring 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
