About Pillars Health Group - Tewksbury
Pillars Health Group's Tewksbury location treats the whole person, not just the symptoms, offering compassionate care in a warm, hopeful environment built around real life. Full-day and half-day programs address mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), plus substance use disorders like alcohol and opioid use, often together. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and multiple weekly schedules help adults build lasting recovery around work, family, and daily life.
Blend Therapies for Lasting Change
Care blends evidence-based therapy with peer support, helping adults replace unhelpful thought patterns with healthier coping skills. Master's-level clinicians draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and EMDR therapy to address trauma, mood disorders, and substance use, while group therapy adds shared experience, accountability, and connection toward meaningful, long-term change.
Choose the Right Schedule
The full-day program provides an immersive schedule, Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the highest level of outpatient care for those with more severe needs. The half-day program offers three weekly windows, 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., or 5:30 to 9:00 p.m., so working clients and caregivers can balance treatment with work, family, and other commitments.
Sustain Progress after Treatment
Aftercare planning begins before the program concludes, mapping out next steps rather than leaving clients to figure it out alone. Referrals for continued therapy, medication management, or other community resources connect each client to the next right level of care. A structured transition plan means treatment ends with clear direction and clients aren't left to navigate next steps on their own.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not prescribe it.
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for alcohol use disorder, but does not prescribe it.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
