Pioneer provides excellent care for people struggling with substance abuse and mental health. The staff truly care about your recovery and wellbeing and strive for a comprehensive treatment. There is a sense of community and commonality in all the groups. Pioneer has been an essential part of treatment being a step down from residential treatment, still providing a nurturing environment to continue to grow and reintegrate into everyday life

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.

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.

I recently went through some very traumatic events and was spiraling. I owe everything to this place! I am lucky to have known some staff members for years. If you want to feel seen, heard, respected and feel like your voice really has value in your own mental health treatment then this is the program for you, recommend 10/10!
