This letter of introduction for Transitional Resources Incorporated is to explain our agenda, which is currently in place. Transitional Resources Incorporated began operating in July of 2002 with our first sober home for men in Manatee County. Since opening those first doors, Transitions has expanded services by opening homes for women, The TRI Center and into Sarasota County. Transitions have created a solid reputation for maintaining and operating a safe secure home environment for individuals with substance abuse addiction.

Each client, upon admittance, is interviewed and screened in order to obtain their recovery goals. It is essential that new clients show the potential and desire to want to change. In reviewing the client intake information Transitions clearly states what is expected of each client relative to house rules and procedures. Transitions philosophy is self- governance, requiring responsibility and accountability with recovery and communal living. Each residence has a live in full time manager on the premises. The manager’s primary function is to supervise the care for the home, assure client compliance in getting along with others, assign and follow up on client chores and to assist and support clients as needed.

With the success of our first house, a second home was established in November of 2003, for women, operating under the same guidelines and requirements as the men’s residence. The manager selected has been sober and clean for several years and is well respected in the recovery community. This house is where eight (8) women, very proudly, call home. They are diligent in their chores and are proud to show it off at any given time. 12 Step meetings are regularly held throughout the week.

In October of 2007 Transitional Resources Incorporated contracted with Sarasota County as the transitional housing provider for the Community Alternative Residential Treatment Initiative (CART) program. The opportunity to serve Sarasota has been very rewarding, both for Transitions and the recovering community. Currently, we operate two men’s houses and one woman’s home.

On September 1st, 2009 Transitions was given the opportunity to enter into partnership with Manatee Glens, the area’s oldest and largest not-for-profit provider of mental health and addiction treatment services. This joint venture resulted in the opening of the TRI Center located at 1819 5th Street West in Bradenton, Fl.  The TRI Center accommodates eight (8) women and ten (10) men. The Center has a full kitchen, dining room, TV room and laundry. Outside features a basketball court, volleyball court and designated smoking area. A small pond offers the perfect setting for peace and quiet for meditation and reflection. The Center ground also has a separate building that will be used for 12 Step meetings and a computer lab.

We presently offer our services to interested clients for a weekly fee. Clients are encouraged to buy and prepare their meals. Our well maintained and supplied kitchens offer everything anyone would need to make their food just the way they want it. Transitions provide bed linens, pillows, blankets and bath towels. Each home has a washer and dryer for the client’s convenience.    

We would appreciate the opportunity to meet with the appropriate staff to discuss providing transitional housing and support on a continuing basis. Please keep us in mind when trying to locate housing options for clients that you serve.
