We had a wonderful experience with Embark. It was a big decision to send my 13 year old daughter from NY to Oregon. Having spent nearly three months there, I never had to feel concerned for her safety or well-being. The staff at this facility is truly caring and professional, they kept us in the loop every step of the way. It was the first time that my daughter was receptive to therapy and gained valuable DBT skills while she was there. From phone calls, to visiting, and attending workshops, the staff was always unbelievably welcoming, knowledgeable and patient. Thank you to Alyssa, Molly, Stephanie, Maryanne and Jack and everyone else there who made my daughter feel comfortable and safe.

Madison, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your time at Embark in Bend left you feeling unsupported and dismissed. No young person should feel overlooked, unheard, or like their efforts toward healing weren’t respected, and we recognize how difficult it can be to speak out about those feelings.While we cannot speak to the specific events described, we want to acknowledge the frustration, confusion, and hurt that comes through in your words.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a more intensive form of outpatient and can be a step-down service in substance use disorder treatment. During PHP treatment, which lasts 4-8 hours per day and up to 5 days a week, you'll participate in daily therapeutic services (relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy) for an average of 90 days. The cost of PHP treatment varies, but it is typically covered by insurance providers.
Treatments
In Oregon, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Specialized programs include outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization options. Using a combination of individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and skills training, a team of clinical addiction and mental health experts can treat the underlying causes of your addiction and improve your mental health.
When you experience a co-occurring drug or alcohol addiction and a mental health disorder, a dual diagnosis treatment center offers the specialized services needed to address both conditions at the same time. By treating both disorders at once - under the same roof and with 24/7 access to mental health professionals – you drastically increase your chances of being successful in long-term recovery.
Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Oregon is a short term talk therapy method used to treat mental and behavioral disorders. Based on client needs, the therapist may recommend five to 20 sessions. Typically, this form of therapy requires fewer sessions than many other types of treatment.
It can be difficult to interpret or articulate how you're feeling during recovery. Through creative arts therapy, you can explore those emotions and share what you're feeling in ways beyond words. Methods include dance, drama, music, drawing, and writing.
During experiential therapy in Oregon, the therapist focuses on your perceptions of what you're experiencing while engaging in activities such as art, music, wilderness adventures, or animal care. The therapist will help you explore your emotions and their meaning to help you work through past experiences and cope with trauma, hurt, and anger.
