Alumni are also encourage to join Aftercare Planning.

What to Expect from Alumni Programming in Tewksbury & South Portland

Each monthly alumni event typically includes food, opportunities for socializing, and a guest speaker. The guest speaker offers inspiration, education, or personal insights about life in recovery. They can help spark motivation and provide real-life context for what long-term recovery can look like.

The Alumni Program is not just a reunion—it’s a time for personal growth and reinforcement of recovery values. The program was developed with the understanding that not everyone has strong support systems outside of treatment. We strive to maintain a tight-knit community where alumni feel seen, heard, and valued. Our Alumni Program is a way to ensure that even after formal care ends, no one has to navigate recovery alone.

      Pioneer Behavioral Health is 5+ stars as it pertains to your recovery journey. Would rate a 10 if I could! I was at a breaking point in my life. Having never pursued a program such as pioneer and needing much healing and help, Pioneer scooped me up from my first outreach and has held me ever since in an amazing, non-judgmental, supportive, seamless fashion. The staff are professional, personable, experienced, committed, reliable and understanding. The staff truly CARE about you and fostering a safe positive process that sets you up for individual progress and success in your recovery. Their facility space is warm, inviting and comfortable. I honestly have Pioneer to thank for saving my life and for providing the platform for me to reclaim my life. If you’re ready in your bones for your recovery journey to begin, look no further and pursue Pioneer Behavioral Health!

    While I haven't officially begun my treatment journey, I want to recognize Erlene for being so helpful, caring, and most importantly available. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and she helped me set up my intake with ease. She's incredibly easy to speak with, and turned around a very difficult phone call to make.

I also want to recognize Keith for being kind and welcoming, and Dante for being so friendly and understanding. I was terrified when I entered the building, and they not only saw my trepidation but helped me find calm. I can tell the whole staff truly cares, and wants to find the best in everyone who walks through those doors.

Finally, to my man Dustin, whom I met today and whose review I see - thank you for saying hello and welcoming me. You got this!

    Exceptional staff, I was hesitant to reach out and nervous to talk about anything as most people are in these situations, but Erlene made me feel much better about everything and comfortable with talking about it.

    Have not started but spoke with Erlene on the phone and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. Had talked with someone else first and did not feel very confident about how the program might be run but after asking for somebody else to speak with I got Erlene. She was able to answer all my questions and really helped me feel that pillars was a great choice for my family member. Thank you Erlene!

    My experience at Pioneer Behavioral was an important part of my journey toward recovery. Going into treatment, I was going through a difficult time in my life, and taking that step was not easy. I’m grateful for the opportunity to focus on myself, work through what I was experiencing, and begin moving forward. The staff made me feel welcomed and extremely knowledgeable.
