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.

Typical Monday–Friday Full-Day Treatment Schedule

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.

We understand that each individual has obligations and responsibilities that can make a commitment like this challenging. We work with each client to customize the program to fit their needs.

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.

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 can't express with words how beneficial this place has been for my mental health and general well being! I'd recommend pioneer to anyone dealing with mental health or substance use issues!
