The Alumni Program at Pillars Health Group is a vital extension of care designed to keep former clients connected, supported, and empowered in their recovery journey. It’s tailored for individuals who have completed our Full-Day or Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Programs. The program fosters relationships between alumni and the Pillars Health Group community.

Alumni Program Events in Middlesex & Cumberland County

In addition to individual outreach, the Alumni Program features monthly gatherings that provide a consistent space for connection and support.

They are designed to bring people together in a relaxed and welcoming environment where former clients can continue to share their experiences and maintain the community bonds formed during treatment.

Optional Aftercare Planning

Alumni are also encourage to join Aftercare Planning.

Aftercare sessions focus on personalized support, addressing ongoing challenges, and reinforcing the gains made during the initial phases of treatment.

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.

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!
