Embark Behavioral Health

Embark Behavioral Health runs mental health treatment programs for preteens, teens and young adults (ages vary by program, roughly 9 to 35). Levels of care include residential treatment centers and therapeutic boarding programs with 24-hour care (for example in Alexandria, Virginia; San Martin, California; Bend, Oregon; and Benton, Tennessee), partial hospitalization or day treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) of about 9 to 12 hours per week, a virtual IOP (typically 12 weeks) in some states, and outpatient care. The company says it operates more than 30 outpatient centers and inpatient programs across the US. Programs treat anxiety, depression, trauma, school refusal and related problems, with family involvement, and Embark tracks outcomes with standard measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7) in its own annual reports. It accepts many insurance plans and offers free insurance verification; costs depend on program and length of stay.
