About Embark Behavioral Health
Embark at Bend provides short-term residential care in a calm, supportive setting for preteen and teenage girls who are dealing with behavioral health challenges and addiction. Focusing on dual diagnosis, Embark integrates proven clinical practices with hands-on and animal-assisted approaches, using a whole-person view of recovery. The inpatient program is designed to treat mental health concerns and co-occurring disorders through dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), substance-use counseling and education, and structured recovery groups. Residents benefit from a consistent, encouraging daily routine that includes therapeutic activities to support mental wellness and healthy living, individual and group sessions, movement and exercise, time outdoors, and nutritious meals. Along with family therapy, this structure aims to build self-confidence, improve social-emotional skills, and enhance relationships.
Embark at Bend also targets a range of emotional and behavioral conditions, including difficulties with anger and mood regulation, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD), family conflict, as well as self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Within the residential program, patients can spend time in nature and participate in a variety of therapeutic experiences. Animal-assisted interventions, sensory rooms, poetry and journaling, and creative art projects are used to support emotional health. Daily group activities such as laser tag, karaoke, baking, and service-oriented projects help build healthy peer connections, practical social skills, and enjoyment. The program also offers active options including rock climbing, hiking, roller skating, swimming, bowling, trampoline activities, geocaching, and snowshoeing, while practices like yoga, meditation, dance, theater, and improv are used to promote spiritual and intellectual well-being.
