About Embark Behavioral Health – Alpharetta
Embark Behavioral Health – Alpharetta is part of a nationwide network of outpatient centers and residential programs that specialize in mental health issues, including substance use disorders. At their Alpharetta, Georgia, location they serve preteens, teens and young adults ages 12 to 28. They’ve been working with youth for over 25 years.
Located just north of Atlanta they make getting addiction treatment convenient for families living in the Atlanta Metro area. It’s not just the location that makes getting help here convenient. They work around clients’ school and work schedules which helps limit disruptions to daily life. To make payment easy they work with most insurance providers, but they also offer other flexible payment options.
At the Alpharetta location they offer individual therapy, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and a therapeutic day treatment program, also known as a partial hospitalization program (PHP). For clients who need a more intensive program they can help with a referral to one of their residential programs.
Treatment is guided by the CASA Developmental Framework, a unique approach you won’t find anywhere else. CASA focuses on Commitment, Acceptance, Security and Attunement to help teens and young adults heal through strong, supportive relationships. This framework is especially helpful for those who’ve experienced trauma. The program helps rebuild self worth and reduce feelings of shame.
They use evidence based treatment methods and personalize them to meet each teen’s unique needs. Families are involved in every part of the treatment process. They also use Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) to adjust care as it’s happening and track progress after treatment ends. All programs are accredited by The Joint Commission, which means they meet recognized standards for quality and safety.
Many families appreciate how supportive and understanding the staff and therapists are, creating a space where teens feel comfortable and engaged. The program does require a serious commitment from both parents and teens. It’s designed for those who are ready to invest the time and energy needed for meaningful growth and recovery.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
