Our Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, commonly known as a partial hospitalization program (PHP), is the most comprehensive outpatient program we offer. It combines evidence-based therapies, individual counseling, and recovery-focused activities led by master’s-level clinicians, all within a supportive peer environment. The Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is designed for those whose challenges require the highest level of care we provide in a structured, all-day program.

In addition to the group sessions in the daily schedule, clients can expect to have one daily individual session per week. They’ll also have access to a psychiatric nurse practitioner for any potential medication management or family support needs. Each client will have a case manager to monitor their progress throughout treatment.

Participants of Full-Day Outpatient Treatment are encouraged to commit to five days a week to start. In the table below, you can see what a typical day of outpatient treatment might look like. However, this may change based on the unique needs of each client. Lunch is provided every day.

Clinical Services in Tewksbury & South Portland

Pillars Health Group’s clinical services include medication management and mental health support. We also have a certified nurse practitioner available to assist clients as needed.

Medication Management and Mental Health Support

For clients who could benefit from medication to help manage their mental health conditions, we offer focused medication management support. If medication is part of the treatment plan and cannot be prescribed in-house, our team will collaborate with the client’s existing prescribing physician to ensure continuity of care. This coordinated approach helps maintain consistent, uninterrupted support throughout the recovery process.

Through clinical services, individual therapy, group therapy, and peer support, individuals can heal and build a pathway toward a better life.

After Full-Day Outpatient Treatment in Middlesex & Cumberland County

After completing the Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, individuals are encouraged to participate in either our Half-Day Program or our Aftercare Planning.

Aftercare Planning is intended to help participants stay sharp and continue their progress after treatment. It’s also an opportunity to work through any issues they may encounter while assuming a greater level of independence.

Pillars Health Group also offers Alumni Programs, giving clients access to peer support, sober events, and more. Our Alumni Programs and Aftercare Planning both help reinforce the skills learned during treatment.

I started at Pillar Health during a really difficult time in my life. From day one, the team treated me like a person, not a case number. The intake was thorough but never judgmental, and the group sessions actually gave me tools I could use right away. What stands out most is how the staff follows through and I can’t say enough about how caring they were about my situation. That kind of care is rare. If you’re struggling with mental health, substance abuse or just need someone in your corner, go to Pillar Health. They genuinely want you to get better.

Outstanding clinicians and phenomenal mental health care. I was hesitant to join but am beyond happy and eternally grateful for every group and one-on-one session I experienced. A very well rounded program that has created such a safe and comfortable space to build connections with others in recovery and to develop skills and healthy ways to navigate anxiety, stress, triggers, and unhealthy urges. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. A highly recommended program.

I am so glad to give Pillars Health in Tewksbury the best review. I came into the IOP hesitant, but hopeful . The staff were engaged and encouraging. I came out of that hesitancy with a positive mental and physical outlook. The Check in and Check out were expertly handled with both in-person and virtually, making time to make each voice heard with helpful suggestions on how to keep moving forward to a positive, and , educated perspective!

I joined this program at a point in my life where I felt everything was out of control, I had no future, I had recently been dealing with a divorce and the loss of the life I knew with the pet family we created. Having that torn down I knew I needed to take a step to take care of myself. This program has allowed me to become in touch with myself again. Learn to live, by myself. Codependency was a crutch for me and learning about all of this has educated me to make better choices, and sit and really challenge my thoughts. Mid way through the program I lost someone I loved to suicide. Thankfully I was in the program and they gave me the space I needed to process for a few days and jumped back in. The team even helped me file an extension with PFMLA and work to ensure when I have returned I am the best version of myself going back. Met many great people and they have a great caring staff. Not to mention DOWN TO EARTH.

The staff is absolutely amazing! I felt like I belonged immediately. It's a small group, but the best I've ever experienced. I'm going to be so sad when it comes to an end, as I will miss everyone, but confident I learned the proper tools I needed to be my best self.

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.
