Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Witmer who have graduated a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to fully re-adjust to normal 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 formidable place now that one has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Witmer offers a safe haven where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can little by little grow to be at ease with the process of restoring their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery 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 strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
