Outpatient Treatment Programs in Middlesex & Cumberland County

At Pillars Health Group, our Half- and Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Programs are designed to provide robust support. These structured programs offer intensive therapy and counseling, enabling individuals to balance their treatment with personal or professional commitments.

Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program

Our Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, commonly known as a partial hospitalization program (PHP), is intended for those who could benefit from care and supervision throughout the day. While it’s usually recommended that an individual in Full-Day treatment commit to five-to-six days a week, our programs are flexible and capable of fitting into anyone’s schedule.

Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program

Our Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, commonly known as an intensive outpatient program (IOP), facilitates the transition towards independent living. Typically three-to-five days a week, Half-Day treatment provides ongoing support and guidance from our treatment team for a portion of the day, allowing clients to practice newly acquired skills in a real-world setting. This lets individuals actively implement their recovery plan while still benefiting from the support they need.

Aftercare Planning & Support for Lasting Recovery

At Pillars Health Group, our Aftercare Planning offers a supportive and flexible approach to continued recovery for individuals who have completed initial Full-Day or Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program. Aftercare provides a safe and structured environment for ongoing support as clients reintegrate into daily life.

Designed for those ready for increased independence, our Aftercare Planning ensures that individuals are never truly alone on their recovery journey. We remain committed to providing continued support and guidance even after the completion of more intensive programs.

Evidence-Based Clinical Services

At Pillars Health Group, our clinical services are the cornerstone of our comprehensive care. Our experienced clinical team utilizes evidence-based therapies and treatment modalities to address the root causes of mental health challenges, empowering clients to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

These services include a range of approaches, including, but not limited to: medication management, comprehensive case management, and several outpatient therapies.

Pioneer behavioral health and the people there have seriously saved my life and changed it for the better. I cannot imagine what I would do without that program today I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time I couldn’t be more grateful for the knowledge in the community that I’ve gained truly such a wonderful place.

I’m still currently attending Pioneer Behavioral Health part-time three days a week, so I’m writing this while I’m still in the program. The whole team has been so supportive, kind and genuinely invested in helping me. I’ve already been able to see real changes in my life and in the way I handle things, and I feel more positive than I have in a long time about my ability to actually make lasting changes. I’m really grateful I found this program and for everyone who has been part of my journey so far. I was so nervous at first to participate in a group setting, but this experience has been life-changing. ❤️

Pioneer Behavioral Health supported a family member of mine and guided them through their MH struggles. The clinical team was empathetic, solution-based, and professional. Highly recommend this program for anyone struggling with MH disorders!

My experience at Pioneer has been incredibly helpful and life-changing. When I first started, I was struggling in ways that made it difficult to manage my emotions, relationships, and everyday life. The program gave me a safe and supportive environment where I could be honest about what I was going through without feeling judged. The staff genuinely cares about my progress and helped me learn valuable tools that I can continue using after completing the program. Through therapy, group sessions, and learning different coping skills, I gained a better understanding of myself and learned healthier ways to cope in difficult situations.

If I could rate Pillars & their care team 10 stars, I absolutely would! I cant even begin to describe what a blessing they have been for me, in SO many ways! I'd never done group therapy before this, so I didnt know what to expect. I told myself I'd put in the effort to go for a few days, but, once I got there & started attending groups, I was warmly welcomed by everyone & they quickly turned into a second family to me! I spent a little over 90 days here & during that time, I gained a lot of skills & relationships that I will forever cherish! Lasting impressions were made by Max, Hannah, Erica, Casey, & Amy. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart! SO MUCH LOVE!♡

I recently went through some very traumatic events and was spiraling. I owe everything to this place! I am lucky to have known some staff members for years. If you want to feel seen, heard, respected and feel like your voice really has value in your own mental health treatment then this is the program for you, recommend 10/10!

This program did so much for me, it’s hard to put it into words. Never in my life had I entered such a welcoming space, no matter what baggage i came with, I was met with complete respect and empathy. They also gave me tools for every day life that I use to get by, without this program i’m not sure where i’d be. If you think you need help, this is an amazing place to seek it.
