Our family resources are here to help parents navigate the treatment journey with confidence, gain clarity around common concerns, and feel supported throughout the process.
Because every teen has their own experiences and needs, we create individualized treatment plans designed around your child’s unique challenges, strengths, and goals.
Explore the information below to find answers to frequently asked questions, and learn how we personalize our programs to provide the right level of care for your teen.
Answering the Important Questions First
Our goal is to support your family with compassion and flexibility, meeting you where you are and creating a program that fits the specific needs of both you and your child. Above all, we focus on building trust and connection with your teen first. Before we can help them work through the challenges they’re facing, we believe it’s important to truly get to know who they are as a person.
We have a state-certified teacher that will work directly with your teen’s school. She gathers coursework and assignments to ensure your teen maintains academic continuity and stays on pace with their classmates throughout treatment.
We treat a variety of different mental health conditions, including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, grief, personality disorders, mood disorders, self-harm/suicidal ideation, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, attachment-based issues, family conflict, and social/emotional challenges.
We’re here to work around your schedule. So, no matter what that looks like, we’ll work with you to tailor a program to the needs of your child. For an example schedules for our programs, see the Full-Day schedule, and Half-Day schedule further down this page.
We do not offer standalone individual therapy. All therapy services are incorporated into the personalized treatment program we create for your child, allowing us to provide a more comprehensive and supportive approach to care for your child that individual therapy can’t do by itself.
We accept major health insurances, including Cigna, and we’ll work with other insurances on your behalf to make the process stress-free.
At our dedicated-adolescent treatment facility in Concord, we treat teens aged 12-17.
While we don’t offer formal family therapy sessions, family support is a meaningful part of everything we do. We know how important parents are in a teen’s recovery journey, and we’re here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and involved every step of the way. Our goal is to help families feel more connected, confident, and equipped to support their teen both during treatment and at home.

Starting the Treatment Process
When your teen begins treatment, we take the time to truly get to know them through a comprehensive assessment that looks at the emotional, social, psychological, and environmental factors impacting their mental health and well-being.
This helps our clinical team create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s unique needs and goals. We also work closely with parents and caregivers throughout the process, offering guidance, support, and connections to helpful resources that can continue benefiting your family long after treatment ends.
Personalized Treatment Programs
Every teen’s needs are different, which is why we offer multiple levels of care designed to provide the right balance of structure, support, and flexibility. Explore the options below to learn more about our Teen Full-Day and Half-Day Treatment Programs and how we tailor each experience to fit your child’s unique needs.
Teen Full-Day Treatment (PHP)

While sample schedules are available below, every treatment plan is flexible and customized to fit your teen’s individual needs, goals, and daily responsibilities—including adjustments for academic support if needed. Along with their daily programming, your teen will receive individual therapy, case management, and additional support services, while parents and guardians stay informed through regular progress updates, schedule communication, and guidance on supporting continued growth at home.

Academic Support
Ensuring Academic Continuity
One of the most common concerns parents have when considering treatment is, “What will happen to my child’s schoolwork?” It’s an important question, and one we take seriously.
We understand that falling behind academically can add even more stress, anxiety, and frustration during an already difficult time, which is why educational support is built into our teen outpatient programs.
Our state-certified teacher works directly with your teen’s school to coordinate assignments, gather coursework, and help maintain academic continuity throughout treatment. By staying connected with teachers and school staff, we’re able to support your teen both emotionally and academically—helping them stay on track with their classmates while focusing on their mental health and overall well-being.
Evidence-Based Clinical Services
At Pillars Health Group, our clinical services are designed to help teens better understand and overcome the underlying causes of the mental health challenges they may be facing.
Through evidence-based therapies, individual counseling, peer support, medication management when appropriate, and comprehensive case management, we create personalized treatment experiences that support lasting growth and healing.
Teens also participate in “mindful movement,” a wellness-focused form of physical activity that promotes both emotional and physical well-being as part of the recovery process.
