Our Outpatient Programs in South Portland, ME

Full-Day Outpatient Treatment

Our Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is our most intensive level of care, and was developed for individuals struggling with severe mental health disorders. It’s intended for those looking for comprehensive, structured support throughout the day, but not a 24/7 residential level of supervised care.

This immersive outpatient treatment program offers a blend of evidence-based therapies and engaging recovery activities, all facilitated by master’s-level clinicians and peer interaction. It’s an intensive program that empowers individuals to fully focus on their recovery journey.

Half-Day Outpatient Treatment

Our Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is designed to provide support and counseling to individuals experiencing moderate-to-severe mental health issues. The program is structured to allow clients to maintain a degree of independence. It’s intended for individuals who do not meet the clinical requirements for a full-day level of care.

This structured outpatient program offers intensive therapy and counseling for a portion of the day. The half-day schedule enables individuals to balance their treatment with personal and professional commitments.

From the beginning, Erlene was the first person I spoke to. She has provided an enormous amount of help and support over the last few months. Real reassuring while she also makes you feel like you’re not alone and not just interacting with somebody who’s on the clock, you can tell she takes her career seriously. Also Link, Elena, Dawn, & Bella have been nothing short of amazing to work with. Pillars is extremely lucky to have the people they do. I don’t regret coming here one bit and honestly believe my life has improved since meeting this great community.

100/10 the most amazing place to go to. I was in near crisis last year and I came here for mental help, they assisted my process being on PFMLA which was a life saver, genuinely!!! I absolutely love the staff in this facility, so much so that I have actually returned this week!! SHOUTOUT to Arlene who hit me up over text to check-in on me and she’s insanely good at getting honest answers out of me😂 she’s an absolute wonderful vibe and I’m very thankful she contacted me!! HUGE SHOUTOUT to Candace, one of the wonderful therapists there who I’ve been thankfully able to reconnect with IS THE BEST!! She really matches my vibes and is very human🩷🩷 Josh is such a cool dude, fun guy and a nerd who understands the way I speak! Holly is such a wonderful hippy vibe who gives good hugs and listens to all my banter!! Mary is a sweetie pie who usually steps in whenever I need her if my girl Candace isn’t around! I love the whole staff, but I just needed to specifically shout out some baddies!! FULLY RECOMMEND anyone to come to this place if you ever are in need of help, whether it’s mental help or potential substance, this place is absolutely amazing and I cannot stress that enough!

Erlene was wonderful to work with as an admissions coordinator. She was kind, understanding, and empathetic. She really took the time To listen and let us know she was there to support us. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, walked us through the process and explained the program options. Erlene made this challenging process much easier for us.

I may not have ended up committing to the process, but I wanted to leave a review for Arlene. I had reached out for the first time ever for assistance and even though what they offer at pioneer wasn't what i was looking for Arlene was understanding, helpful, and genuinely an easy person to talk to. I usually find myself far to anxious to reach out to anyone for any reason. little lone having to tell someone I've changed my mind. But here I felt none of the common fears. I 100% can say Arlene helped me feel; safe and confident in reaching out. And i know who to contact if i need to in the future!
