Pillars provides comprehensive community social services. Although the Agency is a result of a recent merger between Community Care Options (1928) and Pillars Community Services (1968), both have longstanding histories of keeping our communities healthy and strong by providing community-based services to individuals and families facing challenges and crisis. Pillars mental health services are CARF accredited and Medicaid certified.
Fees are collected on a sliding scale. Many services are bi-lingual and all are provided without regard to race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, income level, gender, age, or disability.
