Transitional Living for Addiction

Addiction treatment can be a blow to one’s senses, and the period after can be very volatile. Transitional living for addiction is often recommended because a sober living home can monitor recovery progress and address problems as they arise. While in a sober living home, addicts, with the help of addiction treatment specialists and other addicts, can lay a foundation for their recovery. This will help addicts cope with the difficulties of everyday living once they leave the home and provide them the tools they will need as they face the journey to sobriety on their own. The period immediately after recovery is where addicts are quite vulnerable to a relapse, and transitional living for addiction aims to help addicts get through this through counseling and the support of other individuals facing the same dilemma.

Addiction is a learned behavior, and the goal of transitional living for addiction is to help an addict “unlearn” it by way of teaching them life lessons that can replace this destructive habit and help them see how addiction has destroyed their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Expectations are important when undergoing a transitional living program, and recovery is not always black and white. Some may find it easier and recover quickly, while some may take a longer time before they can live responsibly on their own.
