Full-Day Treatment

Our Full-Day Treatment Program addresses the critical need for comprehensive support in the recovery journey from substance use disorders and mental health challenges. Many individuals struggle to find a path that truly meets their unique needs, often feeling lost in a system that lacks personalized care. We work closely with clients to develop tailored treatment plans that integrate evidence-based practices and valuable peer insights, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery.

In our sessions, you’ll work with experienced Master’s-level clinicians who use methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). This program is perfect for those who have completed a higher level of treatment and are ready to build on what they’ve learned. We focus on enhancing your existing skills while introducing new concepts through individual and group therapy.

  1. Engaging group therapy sessions with licensed clinicians
  2. In-depth discussions on substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders
  3. Skills groups that equip clients with practical tools for daily living
  4. Supportive 12-Step sessions to foster connection and accountability
  5. Peer-driven discussions to share insights and encourage open dialogue

Half-Day Treatment

Our Half-Day Treatment Program is designed to help you actively implement your recovery plan in real-world situations while still receiving essential support from Pioneer. This program offers the same vital resources as our Full-Day Treatment but with fewer sessions, allowing for greater independence. As you continue developing the skills needed to thrive on your own, our Half-Day sessions serve as a gradual transition, reinforcing your progress and ensuring you stay on track.

Ideal for individuals who have completed our Full-Day Treatment or a similar outpatient program, we employ a multidisciplinary approach. Combining individual and group therapy with peer support and practical life skills training, our sessions empower clients to practice their skills confidently as they navigate life beyond treatment.

  1. Engaging group sessions with licensed clinicians
  2. Comprehensive education about substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders
  3. Psychological education and ongoing emotional support
  4. Practical life skills training for everyday challenges
  5. Family therapy to strengthen connections and promote healing

Aftercare Planning

At Pioneer, our Aftercare Planning is designed for individuals ready to continue their recovery journey after completing higher levels of addiction treatment. We know that transitioning back to everyday life can be challenging, which is why our program equips clients with practical skills and strategies to address these obstacles. By combining therapy, peer support, life skills training, and substance abuse education, we create a supportive environment that empowers individuals to navigate their recovery successfully.

Flexibility is essential in our Aftercare Planning, allowing clients to balance work, school, and personal responsibilities while receiving vital care. We emphasize relapse prevention techniques to help clients recognize triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen their support networks for lasting recovery.

  1. Introduction to 12-step recovery principles for ongoing support
  2. Educational discussions on substance abuse recovery to enhance understanding
  3. Practical life skills training to improve daily living and decision-making
  4. Group sessions led by licensed clinicians for personalized support
  5. Exploration of identity and personality to build self-awareness and resilience

Clinical Services

At our outpatient treatment programs, we recognize that recovery can be challenging. Our clinical services are here to tackle those challenges head-on and provide you with the support you need to succeed. Here’s how we can help:

  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Don’t let cravings derail your recovery. Our MAT combines medication and therapy to help manage urges, stabilize your condition, and support your healing journey.
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you identify these harmful behaviors and develop healthier strategies. By learning to reframe your thoughts, you can break free from cycles of negativity and empower yourself for change.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Our DBT helps you understand emotional triggers related to substance use. At Pioneer Behavioral Health, we aim to transform overwhelming feelings into manageable responses.
  • Group Therapy: Our group therapy create a sense of community, connecting you with peers who understand your struggles. This fosters accountability and encouragement, making the recovery process less daunting.

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.

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.

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!

Pioneer is the best treatment experience I’ve ever had. All of the staff are very knowledgeable and compassionate. It’s an amazing culture and the groups are very high quality and genuinely helpful. You are never pressured to share if not comfortable and it’s a very safe space. They will allow you to stay for the time you need to recover. It’s a great program for both mental health and substance abuse disorders. They will get you rides if needed and there is restaurant lunch included! Thank you Pioneer Oxford!
