About Embark Behavioral Health – Scottsdale
In Scottsdale, Arizona, Embark Behavioral Health runs an outpatient treatment center for teens and young adults. The clinic’s intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs take young people of any gender from ages 12 to 28, including those dealing with trauma, PTSD or grief. Families come to it from Scottsdale and other parts of the Phoenix area, and most major insurance plans are accepted.
Which Therapies Does Embark Use?
Embark’s Scottsdale clinic offers individual, group and family therapy, along with parent skills support for the adults raising a teenager in treatment. It also uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, or TF-CBT, for young people who have been through trauma, and dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, which teaches skills for handling intense emotion and conflict. Medication management is offered as well, meaning a clinician oversees prescriptions while therapy continues.
Can Teens Attend IOP After School?
The intensive outpatient program meets in the evening, running about three hours a day, three or four days a week, which leaves the school day and work shifts clear. That schedule is often what makes treatment workable for a teenager who is still enrolled in classes.
On average, outpatient care at the clinic runs three months to a year.
All Embark programs hold accreditation from The Joint Commission, and the Scottsdale site is licensed in Arizona.

Levels of Care
Intensive inpatient programs (IOP) offer high-level support for clients in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient rehabs, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically includes rigorous individual, group, and family counseling. Evidence-based complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and massage, are widely available. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be provided. Clients in IOP receive a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week but may engage in up to 20 treatment hours weekly.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers a short-term alternative to inpatient treatment or a step-down option after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you'll receive 6 to 8 hours of daily support, up to 5 days a week. The duration of a partial hospitalization program can vary with the average length being 90 days. While commuting is necessary, some programs also offer telehealth options. PHP treatment is often covered by insurance and typically offers medication management, relapse prevention techniques, and behavioral therapy.
Many clients who enroll in an outpatient rehab program are exiting intensive inpatient care and no longer require such high-level clinical supervision. Outpatient programs typically follow a step-down structure, with treatment frequency and intensity decreasing as clients progress in their recovery journey. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care are the most time-intensive and are designed primarily for clients who have just left inpatient treatment or who are at an elevated risk of relapse.

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.
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.
