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.

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.
