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.

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!
