Embark at Scottsdale

About Embark at Scottsdale

Embark at Scottsdale offers a range of evidence-based and holistic approaches for adolescents and young adults who need support for mental health, substance use, or behavioral concerns. The center develops individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s circumstances and the needs of their families. Plans may include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), attachment-based approaches, experiential therapies, and SMART Recovery programming for addiction. These services are designed to help with conditions such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trauma-related issues, and substance addiction. The skilled team at Embark can also work with challenges like social withdrawal and bullying, gaming or internet addiction, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), reactive attachment disorder (RAD), and self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

Embark at Scottsdale’s partial hospitalization program (PHP), referred to as its therapeutic day program, is the most intensive option within their continuum of care. This day program is intended for clients transitioning from residential treatment or those who need a higher level of support than standard outpatient services. The program generally involves 27 to 30 hours of treatment each week, offered across five days, while still allowing participants to live at home. Along with individual, group, and family counseling, educational programming supports students in continuing their coursework and earning credits that may be transferred back to their school.

Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) helps clients maintain their personalized treatment while reducing the overall time commitment. The IOP is centered on group therapy, with participants attending sessions 3 to 4 days per week for about three hours each day. Clients also continue individual therapy and family counseling. Scheduling is typically in the evenings to better fit school and work demands, so patients and families can pursue treatment without giving up daily responsibilities. Once a person is ready for a step-down, Embark’s continuum of care continues with outpatient individual therapy on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, and it also offers virtual or in-home counseling for clients and their families.
