Transitional housing is a very helpful resource for people in Yakutat who have completed a drug rehab program but still require time to fully re-acclimate 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 endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Yakutat provides a secure setting where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab experience can slowly become comfortable with the idea of restoring their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing recovering addicts can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a strong shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a successful and happy life.
