Preparing for a smooth transition back to community, work, or school

You and your rehabilitation team will organize activities such as grocery shopping, accessing transportation, dining out at local restaurants, and pre-vocational and vocational assessments and counseling to help ease the transition back to the community, work, or school.

What to expect in the Brain Injury Day Treatment Program

The Brain Injury Day Treatment Program occurs at Shepherd Pathways, a nearby facility in Decatur, Georgia, that offers a large open treatment space where patients participate in facility-based training and re-integration training into the community.

Day Treatment Program services are provided five days per week and consist of individual and group-based treatments driven by patient-centered goals. Treatment is focused on community reintegration, often by returning to home, work, school, and leisure/recreation participation.
