About Embark Behavioral Health – Canyon Road Springville

The natural beauty of this location near the Springville freshwater springs offers a palpable sense of peace and serenity, lending itself perfectly to a calm, healing atmosphere. The facility itself represents a kind of oasis, far removed from the bustle of city life. In reality, it’s just 55 miles from Salt Lake City — close enough to make the most of the buzz for fun events and group activities.

The center prides itself on its safe, homely atmosphere and its 24/7 support for teens with mental and behavioral health conditions. This also includes care for high-risk behaviors like drug use, self-harm and addiction. The team keeps an open dialogue with parents, occasionally involving them in treatment where appropriate to help rebuild connection and trust.

Day-to-day, the center offers a structured and supportive routine designed with healing and emotional wellness in mind. The schedule involves daily individual and group therapy, school, exercise, mental health treatment and daily living activities. Family therapy is occasionally provided, too.

Therapy styles offered here include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), experiential therapy, art therapy, music therapy and equine therapy. Other mindful and therapeutic activities residents might participate in while at Embark include animal interactions, poetry writing, painting ceramics, crafting, karaoke, aerial silks, swimming, roller skating, hiking, paddle boarding, baking and service projects. Excursions may include taking the girls out to museums, libraries, aquariums, and other fun yet educational environments for a change of scenery.

Residents may also engage in spiritual practices like journaling, mindfulness practices, yoga, breathwork, and sound baths. These activities can promote relaxation, emotional regulation and self-awareness.

Length of treatment at this facility will vary depending on the person and their needs. Stays range anywhere from 60 to 180 days.

Hands down best place to send your kiddo. Our 16 year old received so much help. I had looked on google and Reddit and read hundreds of reviews. I wanted the good and bad details of Embark before sending our daughter all the way from Mississippi to Utah. After coming out on the other side I can 100% say.....don't believe the bad reviews. Don't believe the bad comments of Reddit. There are more good reviews and comments FOR A REASON! Do it. Jump in with 2 feet. It's worth it!

We love Embark! Our daughter’s fear had made her completely nonfunctioning in day-to-day life and her OCD was so severe that she was requiring us, her parents, to participate in her compulsions and we were forced to comply or we wouldn’t get any rest in our lives. Our first residential facility we placed our daughter in didn’t understand how to help her with her Autism, OCD, Anxiety, and Scrupulosity. My daughter described that place as being pure torture because all they would focus on is exposure therapy. Embark embraced my daughter and let her mind heal. They also let her go at her own pace. I thought, for sure, she would be at Embark for almost a year. Only 3 months after we dropped her off she was discharged and ready to get back to life. They are miracle workers. Robyn, one of the therapist, is amazing and really understood my daughter. The staff at Embark are genuine, loving people. The place is clean and welcoming. We didn’t even know about Embark when trying to find our daughter help. It took my daughter staying at an inpatient behavioral hospital for a week to find out about Embark. We are so grateful that we were led to there. Thank Embark. I will love you forever for giving our daughter back her life!

I brought my daughter to Embark to give her the space and help she needed at a difficult time in her life. She hated me the first day when dropping her off. She spent roughly 90 days there. After the 90 days we have turned around our relationship and she is very mindful and aware of her emotions and actions. The family therapy really helped us work through some issues. Family day was amazing. I am grateful to the wonderful staff, therapists, and everyone who helped my amazing daughter get some help in this crazy world. I highly recommend Embark in all aspects.

Accepted Insurance

Embark Behavioral Health – Canyon Road Springville works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Addiction treatment at an inpatient rehab center is significantly more intensive than outpatient and community-based care. Clients remain at the facility for the duration of their program, though many centers offer supervised group excursions. Inpatient treatment typically consists of extensive psychotherapy, often including group and family counseling. Many programs also prioritize addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, art therapy, EMDR, and meditation, are commonly available as well.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Therapists may use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Utah to address substance use and mental health disorders. The main focus is to change thinking patterns, which leads to behavioral change. Subtypes of CBT include exposure therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance commitment therapy.

During dialectical behavior therapy in Utah, you'll work on developing four main skills. Interpersonal effectiveness helps you manage your relationships. Mindfulness keeps you present in the current moment rather than worry or regret. Distress tolerance helps you accept emotions. Emotional regulation gives you the tools you need to successfully manage intense emotions.

Community building is an important aspect of group therapy sessions in Utah. The sense of community building among participants encourages more transparent sharing of experiences in a judgment free environment. You create strong bonds with the people in your group that support your journey to recovery.

During individual therapy, men and women in Utah work with their therapists to build healthier daily habits and create coping strategies to manage stress. These are two components necessary for sustained sobriety and improved overall health.

The foundation of motivational interviewing in Utah rests on four pillars: partnership, evocation, acceptance, and compassion. The therapist collaborates with the client, encouraging them to explore their options and make informed decisions about making changes in their lives.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Couples at any stage of their relationship may benefit from couples therapy in Utah. It is designed to keep relationships on the right path by teaching both partners healthy forms of communication and conflict resolution.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

parents, PLEASE don't send your child here. mine did and it was such an awful, devastating experience. i was bullied so hard whilst i was there, MANY TIMES, which triggered my trauma from past bullying, and intensified it. the therapists and doctors did absolutely nothing. my bullies were never punished, just let go and loved by everyone but me. reading the other reviews, i heard that someone was told it was voluntary. i was absolutely never informed of this in my stay there, therefore practically trapping me in the program until i was let go after exactly five months only because insurance would no longer pay for it. it's said to be short term, but i met people who had been there for over a year. i connected with very little people, and i left with no friends at all. eating disorder behaviors are also encouraged here, especially binging. i genuinely developed more trauma from being there. i absolutely do not regret writing this. please, i beg you, if you really want to help your child, find someplace better.

Response from the owner

Coming from a past student embark was great. The therapy worked and group therapy was great most staff were helpful in most situations. The only complaint i would have is the communication between staff and just the tramatic experience overall. Now i wouldnt say its was more tramatic than mental hospitals and other RTC’s because they all have about the same amount of crash outs, so i wouldnt say it was over the top. But i think to grow embark, focusing on that could be beneficial for the environment and make Embark better than most RTC’s. Overall i loved embark, the treatment really does help as long as you show up and put in the work for yourself. Of course therapist’s and staff will help but you have to know going into treatment like this that it’s not one sided, and for it to help you you have to want the help. -kihara morrow/ ki

This place is amazing! The staff are wonderful and supportive in every way. They challenge and also support you. Changed my life in more ways than one and all for the better. Absolutely recommend this place. Ms. Noelle is a skilled therapist who helped repair our family relationships and relationships with ourselves. Ms Robyn also led beneficial group therapy and helped out on hard days. The staff are talented. The excursions help add a sense of normalcy. Cannot praise this place enough.

Response from the owner
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear about the positive impact our staff, especially Ms. Noelle and Ms. Robyn, have had on you. It's our goal to provide a supportive and transformative experience. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to your continued success.

I am extremely grateful for Embark. My daughter has been struggling for the past 5 years with her mental health, and the last year and a half has been extremely difficult for her. This led to her needing higher care to keep her safe. That transition alone was enough to rip our hearts out. To not be with her every day or comfort her while she was struggling, was unbearable for me as her Mother. As hard as it was for me though, it was even harder for her, which is what makes me so grateful for Embark. My daughter went there 2 days before Christmas💔 and also missed her birthday with family, which was two weeks after. While it was extremely hard for us to find any joy in those occasions this year, Embark made it special for her. They did stockings for the girls and had so many fun activities. I always felt informed and had several contact numbers at Embark with direct lines to staff to be able to check on my daughter. They were also very accommodating and gave my daughter the respect to make choices for herself. They made special accommodations for her diet, schooling, and even sleeping arrangements when she was struggling. They never treated my daughter with unkindness and she said they were always really nice. Even when it came to my daughter expressing anger and saying she was going to run away, they respectfully accompanied her as she went for a walk until she decided to return. They informed me if the incident right away and told me that they didn't restrain her from her behaviors because she needs to have the ability to be able to function when she comes home without us keeping her safe. I love this about them because she ultimately had to make the right choices herself. As scary as it is to have your child away from home and in the care of others, I know that my daughter is in a much better place psychologically after having gone through their program. They do so many fun things in the program. While my daughter was there, they went to the rec center and library weekly, the movies, and also horseback riding. They frequently did Just Dance, ordered pizza, and had movie and popcorn nights, etc. Unless you are a parent who has a child that has gone through a mental health illness, you can't fathom the pain it causes, but knowing that she was treated with love and kindness and that they gave her an environment of happiness while we were apart, is the best I could have asked for. Thank you so much Embark!💖💖

Response from the owner
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your daughter felt loved and well taken care of during her time at Embark. It warms our hearts to know that she benefited from our program and that you felt informed and connected throughout her stay. We are here for you both every step of the way.

Embark was a VERY long, confusing, sometimes stressful journey but it was all worth it, I also had A LOT of fun. First getting there seemed stressful especially because of drama, lots and lots of stupid high school drama, But staff attended to our wants and needs as much as they could. Very quickly I got into 1 on 1 and family therapy with my therapist but soon after (maybe 2-3 weeks) she quit and I had to restart with a whole new therapist, her name is Noelle:)) She is AMAZING and so slay! She is very welcoming and so good at her job especially when it comes to safety of others, myself, my family, etc. Embark puts all their love and might into our safety but can sometimes get blind sided. A big room for improvement for Embark is communication, other then the communication between staff and parents, that great! The communication between staff and students or staff and staff is 👎. Other then that Embark was A LOT of fun, I entered on July 2nd and for the 4th of July they got bouncy castles with water slides and staff would bring their pets (mainly dogs but one of my favorite staff (Aaron) AKA (AA batteries) has a tortoise) :) They are constantly giving us a homey feel and staff will bring in treats every so often and tell us all about their family and open us with open arms whenever we need someone to talk to or give us advice and coping skills when needed. I do recommend this treatment for addiction (Self harm, drugs, alcohol, etc.) or any fears of your child being life being at risk. This program can be really easy or really hard and it can be long or short but it all depends on the client and if they take their treatment seriously!

To my Embark family, I love and miss you. To those looking for employment and are considering Embark, do it. I was a college student looking for a job in the field of psychology and landed on Embark. I loved the flexibility of working 3 days a week and having the other 4 days to focus on school and homework. This schedule gave me a great balance and paid decently well. Not only was I getting credit for school, I was getting firsthand experience and knowledge to all the things I had been studying! Also being a young college student with younger siblings the same age as a lot of these kiddos gave me a big sister feeling at work. Just like siblings, they drive you crazy sometimes, but you end up building connections with them to where you care and love them as if they were your own siblings. It was incredibly fulfilling to watch these kids who came in with some deep trauma be able to start healing for the first time and continue to improve over time. The beginning for most was always a little rough as they adjusted to the schedule, house, and environment, but overtime many were leaving in tears as they said their goodbyes because they were going to miss so many aspects of the residential, mostly the staff and other kiddos who they built friendships with. Many times I too cried as they departed because I grew to LOVE these kids. I also cannot praise the staff enough, especially the supervisors, Emily and Megan, who I watched go ABOVE and BEYOND for both their staff and the kids. I still consider them as some of the most sympathetic/empathetic individuals I’ve ever met. Among them are many more to name that I just loved working with (life coaches, therapists, residential directors, nurses, the one and only chef, etc.) hence why I started this long post by addressing it to my Embark family, because that is what they became to me. So again if you are considering applying, I say send it. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of kids who really need it and you will have so much support from your supervisors who will treat you like a real human being! That’s it for my rant but if you have any questions for me, reach out on my Google account and I will be happy to answer :) love yall
