Full-Day Outpatient Treatment

This immersive program combines evidence-based therapies with interactive recovery-focused activities, all led by master’s-level clinicians and supported by peer engagement. It provides a focused, supportive environment where individuals can fully dedicate themselves to their recovery.

Half-Day Outpatient Treatment

This program provides focused therapy and counseling during part of the day, giving clients access to consistent, meaningful treatment while maintaining a level of independence.

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.

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!
