Embark Behavioral Health operates an exceptional network of treatment and therapy programs across the United States. We specialize in preteens, teens, and young adults, struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health and substance abuse issues. Our programs include in-home treatment, virtual coaching and counseling, outpatient clinics, wilderness therapy, short-term residential programs, long-term residential treatment, therapeutic boarding schools, and young adult transitional living options. Our residential treatment program offers short-term residential treatment for troubled teens and pre-teens so that they can overcome difficult mental health challenges and create a life filled with joy.
Embark’s short-term residential treatment programs provide mental health and substance abuse treatment for pre-teens and teens ages 12-17. Short-term residential treatment can last from 30-90 days on average. Troubled teens and pre-teens enrolled in short-term treatment will have access to substance abuse counseling and education, individual, group, adventure therapy, and more, as well as therapeutic activities that can help teens overcome difficult mental health issues. We use evidence-based treatment models such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Smart Recovery, and experiential therapy.
