Apartment-Style Transitional Living in Hattiesburg

Oak Arbor provides transitional living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi for adults who have completed a higher level of substance use treatment and want continued structure while returning to everyday responsibilities. The program is based in fully furnished apartments, offering a more independent living setup than a residential treatment hall while still keeping recovery support close by.

Built-In Accountability With Staff Oversight

This program is designed for people transitioning from Clearview Recovery Center programming. Residents live in a supervised environment with staff oversight and clear expectations that support safety and sobriety. For many people, this step-down structure can make it easier to shift from a highly structured program into independent living without losing routine and support.

Job Readiness Support Through Local Partnerships

A key differentiator at Oak Arbor is its practical focus on re-entry. The transitional program works closely with the local WIN Job Center to support job skills development, resume building, and job placement. This emphasis can be especially helpful for people who want to rebuild stability through employment as part of their recovery plan.

Ongoing Recovery Supports Beyond the Program

Oak Arbor is part of a broader continuum that includes aftercare and continuing support. Discharge planning and ongoing recovery supports help residents plan next steps after transitional living, including maintaining peer connection and continuing recovery routines as they move into independent housing and work.
