I have had a family member addicted to fentanyl for years. I have taken them to many places only to be sent away with a script of suboxone. This DID NOT WORK. it was only abused. Then I made the phone call that is saving my sons life and he wad on detox within 4 hours of that call. 5 days later he entered their 90 day program and is doing great. He is 7 days in that program today, my grandson and I were able to have a short visit with him and he looks a thousand times better.. he looks healthy and his mind is clear and there is hope. FINALLY. They didn't just write him a script and send him away like everyone else listed below Research Rediscover(the absolute worst) Truman hospital Centerpoint All the above failed where Heartland is succeeding. Make that call to them they know what they are doing.

This amazing caring staff IS the difference at heartland. This is an underrated community resource in independence and Jackson county. It's not the abundance of resources, or judgements free environment of learning the art of new patterns and behaviors as tools to combat a variety of epidemics that affect every family. It is the HUMAN compassion, patience, counseling and tools for accountability. This place is a lifeline for those who have and have not other options or resources. Walk in and ask for help. It's that easy. First step.

I have worked with this organization and have several contacts enroll and receive services here. They are one of the best around if you are struggling with alcohol or substance use disorder. Very compassionate and genuinely want to help those that are wanting and needing to make positive changes in their lives. BECKY PELLEHAM IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. MAKE SURE YOU ASK TO MEET HER WHEN YOU ARE ON SITE. SHE IS EXTREMELY RESOURCEFUL, AND IF SHE SEES THAT YOU ARE TAKING YOUR RECOVERY SERIOUS AND TRYING TO BETTER YOUR LIFE THEN THE SKYS THE LIMIT AS FAR AS WHAT SHE CAN DO FOR YOU. I wouldn't mislead or try to benefit from someone seeking recovery as so many people and places do. This is the best place around especially if you dont have private health insurance.

After everything I been through, this place helped me rebuild who I am. The workouts brought my body back, but it was the talks, the brotherhood, that brought back my purpose. They really got into the mental side too. Only thing I’d change is more structured peer mentoring. But man, I left with hope I didn’t think I’d find again.

I’m not sure why everyone is so rude in the other reviews, as people seemed to have lost their dignity. However, I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences here. My provider Dr. Brooks has been nothing short of amazing and the staff are beyond sweet and helpful. Perhaps you all should show some kindness and it would be reciprocated back. They always smile and treat me well when I have my appointments and I live over an hour way to come here! I love this office and all the staff I’ve encountered so far, truly a wonderful experience!

Did the CIP program here. I went into the program dreading having to spend my evenings doing 4 hour classes but Linda Williams was beyond fantastic as a counselor. Our group sessions became something I looked forward to. I cannot say enough good things about Linda and the way she ran the group.

As a fellow mental health therapist, I recently had the distinct privilege of touring this Embark Behavioral Health campus, and I was genuinely impressed by what I saw and learned. My visit included an in-depth look at the residential hall, the impressive indoor gym, and the welcoming dining area, giving me a comprehensive understanding of their program and facilities. From the moment I stepped onto the campus, it was clear that Embark places a high priority on creating a well-maintained and therapeutic environment. The grounds were immaculate, and the buildings themselves gave a sense of calm and care, which is so crucial for individuals in residential treatment. The residential hall felt genuinely comfortable and safe, with spaces designed to promote both individual reflection and community building. The indoor gym was particularly noteworthy. It's clear they understand the vital role physical activity plays in mental well-being, and having such a well-equipped, accessible space indoors is a significant asset, especially during inclement weather. The dining area was also inviting, suggesting that mealtimes are viewed not just as sustenance, but as opportunities for connection and routine. Beyond the physical space, what truly stood out was the professionalism and knowledge of the staff I encountered. Everyone I met was incredibly nice, welcoming, and clearly dedicated to their roles. Their insights into the program were thorough and demonstrated a deep understanding of the complex needs of the adolescents they serve. It was evident that Embark is committed to evidence-based practices and a holistic approach to mental health treatment. Learning more about their specific program components, their focus on individualized care, and their commitment to family involvement further solidified my positive impression. As a mental health therapist, I recognize the immense importance of these elements in achieving lasting positive outcomes for young people. If I were ever in a position where I needed to send a child to a residential facility for mental health treatment, I would feel incredibly comfortable and confident considering Embark in Independence as a top option. Their well-maintained campus, dedicated and knowledgeable staff, and comprehensive program truly set a high standard for residential care.
