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.

My experience at Pioneer Behavioral was an important part of my journey toward recovery. Going into treatment, I was going through a difficult time in my life, and taking that step was not easy. I’m grateful for the opportunity to focus on myself, work through what I was experiencing, and begin moving forward. The staff made me feel welcomed and extremely knowledgeable.

From the beginning, Erlene was the first person I spoke to. She has provided an enormous amount of help and support over the last few months. Real reassuring while she also makes you feel like you’re not alone and not just interacting with somebody who’s on the clock, you can tell she takes her career seriously. Also Link, Elena, Dawn, & Bella have been nothing short of amazing to work with. Pillars is extremely lucky to have the people they do. I don’t regret coming here one bit and honestly believe my life has improved since meeting this great community.

100/10 the most amazing place to go to. I was in near crisis last year and I came here for mental help, they assisted my process being on PFMLA which was a life saver, genuinely!!! I absolutely love the staff in this facility, so much so that I have actually returned this week!! SHOUTOUT to Arlene who hit me up over text to check-in on me and she’s insanely good at getting honest answers out of me😂 she’s an absolute wonderful vibe and I’m very thankful she contacted me!! HUGE SHOUTOUT to Candace, one of the wonderful therapists there who I’ve been thankfully able to reconnect with IS THE BEST!! She really matches my vibes and is very human🩷🩷 Josh is such a cool dude, fun guy and a nerd who understands the way I speak! Holly is such a wonderful hippy vibe who gives good hugs and listens to all my banter!! Mary is a sweetie pie who usually steps in whenever I need her if my girl Candace isn’t around! I love the whole staff, but I just needed to specifically shout out some baddies!! FULLY RECOMMEND anyone to come to this place if you ever are in need of help, whether it’s mental help or potential substance, this place is absolutely amazing and I cannot stress that enough!

Erlene was wonderful to work with as an admissions coordinator. She was kind, understanding, and empathetic. She really took the time To listen and let us know she was there to support us. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, walked us through the process and explained the program options. Erlene made this challenging process much easier for us.

I may not have ended up committing to the process, but I wanted to leave a review for Arlene. I had reached out for the first time ever for assistance and even though what they offer at pioneer wasn't what i was looking for Arlene was understanding, helpful, and genuinely an easy person to talk to. I usually find myself far to anxious to reach out to anyone for any reason. little lone having to tell someone I've changed my mind. But here I felt none of the common fears. I 100% can say Arlene helped me feel; safe and confident in reaching out. And i know who to contact if i need to in the future!
