Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Waialua, Hawaii who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To a person 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 endure life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Waialua supplies a secure setting 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 those in recovery 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 shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
