Temporary housing, in for instance a halfway house or transitional living facility, is a living environment which can help somebody who is recovering from drug abuse make a positive and successful transition to a more healthy way of life. When someone has effectively stopped using drugs independently, or more often with the help of a highly effective alcohol and drug treatment facility, it is recommended that they maintain some sort of aftercare regiment which temporary housing may be an integral part of. This could be a choice that men and women make with the assistance and guidance of their rehab counselors when their period in drug and alcohol rehab comes to an end, if it's decided that they're going to need additional support to maintain their abstinence and while they can get on their feet. Temporary housing is quite affordable in most cases, and can even be paid by one's health insurance or is funded through some form of federal or state grant. In any case, temporary housing gives a drug free living environment for individuals who have recovered from any kind of addiction, and is an excellent opportunity to be surrounded by constructive support while the process of getting one's life back together is the next step.
