Frontier House and Pioneer House offer both day rehabilitation and day support services. Day rehabilitation is a structured program in which the participant attends regularly, and for a minimum of three hours per visit. Participants in day rehabilitation have a care coordinator assigned who assists them in developing an individualized treatment plan that includes goals the participant wants to work on while in attendance. Day support is designed as a drop-in service. It is less structured, and participants in day support do not have an individualized treatment plan or goals specific for their attendance and participation. Day support is available any time Frontier House or Pioneer House is open. A day rehab care coordinator can help determine which level of care is appropriate for an individual.
