At Pillars Health Group, we strive to provide individuals with the tools necessary to improve their emotional well-being and mental health. We aim to help clients heal through a blended mix of one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and peer support. It’s our mission to change negative thought patterns into positive ones, setting up individuals for success as they return to a healthy, happier life. 

We offer a range of outpatient treatment programs tailored to support individuals struggling with mental health challenges. Our approach integrates both clinical services and therapy, ensuring that each client gets the care that meets their unique needs.

Adult Outpatient Treatment Programs in Tewksbury & South Portland

Our Half-Day and Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Programs are designed to deliver strong, consistent support while allowing flexibility. These structured programs provide intensive therapy and counseling so individuals can continue managing personal or professional responsibilities alongside treatment.

Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program

The Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, often referred to as a partial hospitalization program (PHP), is ideal for individuals who benefit from comprehensive care and supervision during the day. While participants are typically encouraged to attend five to six days per week, the program is flexible and can be tailored to fit individual schedules.

Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program

The Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, commonly known as an intensive outpatient program (IOP), supports individuals as they transition toward greater independence. Usually meeting three to five days per week, this program offers continued guidance and therapeutic support for part of the day. It also gives clients the opportunity to apply the skills they’ve learned in real-life situations, helping them actively build and maintain their recovery while still receiving the support they need.

Aftercare Planning & Support for Lasting Recovery

At Pillars Health Group, our Aftercare Planning provides ongoing, flexible support for individuals who have completed a Full-Day or Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program. This phase of care offers a safe, structured environment to help clients maintain progress as they transition back into everyday life.

Created for those who are ready for greater independence, our Aftercare Planning ensures continued connection and support throughout the recovery journey. Even after completing more intensive programs, our team remains dedicated to offering guidance, encouragement, and resources every step of the way.

Clinical Treatment

Our clinical services for mental health treatment includes medication medication management, and for those experiencing a co-occurring mental health disorder with substance use or addiction, we offer dual-diagnosis treatment. This integrated approach addresses both conditions simultaneously, improving outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse. Also, for those suffering from a co-occurring disorder we offer detox outplacement, where we refer clients to a trusted detox location before beginning outpatient treatment.

Therapeutic Care

Beyond clinical interventions, we provide a variety of outpatient therapy options. We offer individual therapy, which provides a private setting in which to explore their struggles. Group therapy allows clients to connect and heal with other peers through shared experiences. Our trauma-informed therapy is designed to provide a safe space for those to explore a history of trauma.

We also incorporate evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), both of which help individuals develop healthier thought patterns, emotional regulation, constructive responses to stressors, and coping mechanisms.

Great experience. Clean comfortable place and maybe I was just a little lucky but I met all good people. The councilors were all excellent, friendly and supportive.

I am truly so grateful for this program and all the amazing people I have met on this journey. I am learning so much about myself in ways I never imagined. Is it hard? Absolutely. Is it painful? Absolutely. Is it worth it? Also, absolutely. You’re worth it. And they’ll be so glad you’re there.

No superlatives can do Pioneer justice. I can offer my personal reflection letter and hope that you can feel the effect. You are looking at Pioneer because overwhelm, grief, trauma, pain or substance have taken up too much space in your life. Maybe you feel you can’t breathe, harness emotion or see a path forward. Pioneer will welcome you unconditionally. You will be held, included, appreciated, applauded. You will be accepted without judgment no matter your situation or circumstance. You will be valued. Shown that you are worthy at a time in your life when it might feel foreign or impossible. This supportive and loving environment will help you learn, discover, unlock, unblock a reality that YOU are capable of immeasurable transformation. The ability already exists inside of you. I walked into Pioneer wobbly, trembling, desperate and exhausted. Without an identity. They caught me. They will catch you. They propped me up. They will prop you up. You are already aware that help is needed. Take the step to reach out to Pioneer staff. You possess the courage. They are ready for you.

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!
