About Embark Behavioral Health – Scottsdale

Embark Behavioral Health’s Scottsdale site can be found on East Vista Bonita Drive in the beautiful desert community of Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s near the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Located in a colorful, modern facility, Embark provides youth treatment for various types of mental health and behavioral health disorders.

Services are offered for more supervised care in home-like residency programs that will provide them with 24/hour care, a therapeutic environment for healing and peer-supported activities and workshops. There’s plenty of neutral colors and stylish decor, open space for meetings and fellowship, and an emphasis on joy.

Parent Engagement Encouraged to Support Family Connection

Their residential care program requires that parents are available at least 2-3 hours per week to engage in family therapy sessions, survey completions and to be available in case a phone call is needed between you and your child’s support staff. Family engagement is a crucial element to their residential program and has been proven to help your child heal as well as provide healing for your relationship with your child.

Residential Program Provides Safe, Peer-Supported Environment for Youth

This program is ideal if your child has had other treatment programs and requires more supervised care and structure in their healing. It’s also helpful to know that education is integrated into their program, to ensure that your child does not fall behind academically.

Additionally, since some teens struggle with issues of self-harm, a residential program takes their safety very seriously and will closely monitor your child and be aware of any potentially harmful behavior they may be exhibiting.

This program might also be a better option for your child if they have been experiencing issues with isolation. By being among peers who may be experiencing similar issues with mental health and substance use, they may find comfort in knowing they are not alone.

I had such an amazing experience at Embark! I was struggling a lot with anxiety and depression. This was my first step to getting help. My therapist took me to Behavioral health because I was having suicidal ideations really bad. I was really upset at first but this really changed my life for the better. I was recommended to go to residential therapy out of state- and got the help I needed. It’s all thanks to embark. Also their therapy models are constantly changing with the new & improved lesson plans/activities/ and topics! They always made the groups interesting, fun, and applicable to our lives. I’m so happy to be here today. I am starting my LMSW journey in 6 days, and thank this whole experience for that.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

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.

Treatments

Dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in Arizona provides integrated care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Services may include medically assisted detox, 12-Step recovery, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare support. Addiction experts use evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused therapy, to simultaneously address substance use and mental health disorders. This comprehensive approach to treatment helps to ensure sustained recovery.

Treatment for addiction includes mental health services that are provided while during your stay at the facility. This may be a hospital, clinic, or a luxury treatment center setting. You receive 24-hour support and monitoring by mental health counselors and clinical staff. Most inpatient programs last 30 days, but some can last for two months or longer. Mental health is addressed during treatment via group and individual counseling, addiction education programming, and often recreational activities.

Programs

Adult Program

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.

Clinical Services

Also known as CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy in Arizona is one of the most common types of psychotherapy. It offers a structured method of counseling that effectively treats substance use disorder and dual diagnosis disorders.

Individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction includes focused attention on the unique challenges that trigger addictive behavior. During individual therapy sessions, you have a safe space in which to discuss stressors and emotional struggles. Therapy fosters trust and open communication that helps develop personalized strategies to overcome addiction.

Trauma therapy focuses on helping you understand and manage emotional and physical responses to past trauma. Using therapeutic interventions, you learn to reframe the experience. This helps reduce your anxiety and gives you greater control over your life.

Really awesome program for teens and young adults who are deeply struggling. I was only with them for three weeks as I didn’t need their extreme care, and I’m going to individual sessions with an ASD specialist, but I had a good time at the program in the mean while. I was with the young adults, and we weren’t treated like babies, I appreciated that. For the adults who needed deep therapy, they really taught them a lot. I struggled feeling different and like I didn’t fit in with my peers but the team made me feel welcomed. The facility is BEAUTIFUL, best one I’ve ever seen. Overall amazing!

Sue Kirkman

Our daughter had been in and out of the hospital 5 times and in residential treatment for 6 weeks because of her suicide ideation. Once she was enrolled at Embark, the psychiatrist and therapists at Embark where able to help diagnose my daughter with emerging bi-polar disorder. We were immediately able to get her on the right medication and with enough CBT therapy, she was able to go back to school full time and live a normal teenage life. Up until she was at Embark, she had missed a year of school. It only took 2 months at Embark to get her healthy again. We are grateful for all the help the psychiatrist and therapists at Embark gave our daughter.

After spending 16 weeks at Embark, I can happily say that I wake up everyday wanting to live and i’m loving life again. When I arrived at Embark, I never thought I would be happy again but I am. To anyone wondering if this is the right place for them, 100% it is. The staff is loving, caring and nurturing while also being kind, friendly and funny. At the end of my 16 weeks it felt like I had made a family. The environment that Embark provides is welcoming and makes everyone feel comfortable and heard. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Embark saved my life!
