Programs
Members of Polaris House have access to a variety of programs that can assist them with rehabilitation and recovery.
Members are encouraged to participate in our weekly movie days on Tuesdays and Fridays at 2:00pm. Camping has also been becoming a popular activity. These activities are a great opportunity to get to know staff and members outside of the Clubhouse and to have some fun on the weekends!
The Clubhouse can also offer support in pursuing educational goals, whether it is at the college level or working on and attaining a G.E.D. Polaris House also offers assistance in the search for housing and can help with accessing a variety of community resources.
