Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Wales who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still need time to fully re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. To a person who has abused drugs and 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 the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Wales provides a safe atmosphere where those who are in this stage of the drug rehab process can slowly 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 receive 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 good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a successful and happy life.
