I joined Embark Behavioral Health’s Young Adult IOP program in November 2024 after withdrawing from college. I was burnt-out, struggling with depression and OCPD. I frequently felt overwhelmed and hopeless. I had no idea what to expect, as Embark was the first group program I had ever committed to. I had a history of therapy either being ineffective - whether due to external factors or my own resistance to change. The group therapist and my personal therapist are phenomenal at their job - and more importantly - as individuals. I received an incredible amount of support and compassion from them. They shared their knowledge with me, and I have learned to be comfortable with discomfort. Every staff member helped me work through my depressive symptoms and restart my life. I am now able to reframe the self-doubt that inhibited my growth. I have built a foundation of agency and empowerment that secures my self-esteem. Moreover, the skills I developed at Embark have become habits that I can continue to work on. I gained an entirely new perspective on my academic, career, and personal path - I am really excited for it. I graduate from the program this week, and while healing and progress are not linear, I am motivated to keep moving forward. I have also seen immense growth in my groupmates, and I am very proud of them. I am beyond grateful for this experience.

Embark at Ashburn is the absolute best outpatient treatment in the area. My child who turned 18 while in treatment with them experienced a seamless transition from the teen to the young adult program. Her therapist and medication provider were extremely accessible and knowledgeable. She is a completely different person. Embark changed our lives and saved our daughters. I would recommend Embark at Ashburn to any family who has a teen or young adult struggling with mental health. We’ve been through many treatment programs and this was our last stop finally :) thank you Embark!!

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Evening sessions fit school and work. You get nine to 12 hours of treatment a week. That's the intensive outpatient schedule here.

Partial hospitalization is a day treatment program. Plan on 27.5 hours of treatment in a typical week. That's the weekly load for this level.

Outpatient rehabs offer community-based addiction treatment, enabling clients to remain in their homes while in recovery. Their levels of care typically include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient, and sober living programming. Most outpatient facilities offer addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative programs include evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation, music therapy, and massage. Facilities specializing in alcohol and/or opioid addiction may also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatments

Outpatient care for adolescents, teens and young adults, through intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization. Anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts are among the conditions treated.

In Virginia, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs focus on providing integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Specialized programs offer medically monitored detox, outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization. Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed therapy, and family therapy help to address both disorders simultaneously while promoting mental health and well-being.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Virginia is a short term form of talk therapy. Participants usually have homework between sessions, which may include journaling, self talk, and setting SMART goals. The aim is to transform negative thought patterns into positive ones.

Experiential therapy is based on the philosophy that individuals cannot think themselves out of their struggles. Instead, they need experiences to help them physically and emotionally work through issues. Examples include adventure therapy, music therapy, and equine therapy. These methods are often used to treat substance abuse and other types of behavioral addictions.

Men and women in Virginia use individual therapy to focus on addiction related challenges as a necessary part of their drug and alcohol addiction treatment. Your therapist guides you in developing coping strategies, setting realistic goals, and building a strong foundation for an improved quality of life.

When men and women in Virginia participate in group therapy sessions, they learn to freely express their emotions in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and begin to understand the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are associated with addictive behavior.

Family therapists work with all members of the family to understand the roles they play in the addiction dynamic. Addressing these patterns is crucial to developing healthier ways to interact and support each other, as well as contributing to a more effective recovery for their loved ones.

For those experiencing mental health challenges, including substance use disorder, dialectical behavior therapy in Virginia offers an evidence based method of treatment. This therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal relations so you can break free from negative patterns.

I was at embark for about 3 months which is surprising considering I had it better off then most of the other kids mentally. I do think it was helpful and especially the family therapy was the most beneficial thing I got from php. However I feel that the program is way too long and a lot of times they make you extend. And a lot of times I could tell that they care more about money than us. The staff were kind of annoying but some were ok. It gets exhausting being there for so long and it gets really repetitive. It was hard to keep up with school and my social life and I felt like it truly was more of a roadblock than anything. I got really bad treatment burnout after being there for about a month and I think that they should shorten the time that you’re there for because after coming out in December, I have absolutely no interest in continuing therapy or ever having any sort of mental health help again and I haven’t. While I did get some benefits, I do not miss this place at all and im happy to know that I will never be going back there.

Listen to Beza. I also had a terrible experience with the staff here and am still dealing with them 7 MONTHS after attending. We attended at the same time so I'd like to back up what she has mentioned and add my own experiences...They will nickel and dime you, lie by omission, and do anything to charge you extra. "No job because you're disabled? Ok, we'll knock your bill down from 12k to 5k. Aren't we the nicest? Now pay up, you invalid." The front desk will not follow up with you in time on certain parts of the application so that it is late and therefore you are charged the debt that you cannot afford to pay. Even the SSDI office is better about reaching out! That's pretty sad.You're also treated like a child on the young adult unit; I am on someone else's insurance as a 25 year old and they have sent EVERY correspondence to the policy holder, no matter how often I ask them to not do so. This is dangerous for me and actively harming a patient. Absolutely negligent.My doctors messed up my (and others') scripts all the time. For psychotropic medicine, this is completely unacceptable.Something needs to be done about this place. But at least I've warned you about the 12k for less than 3 months of lackluster therapy.
