About Embark at Scottsdale

Embark at Scottsdale uses several evidence-based and holistic methods to treat adolescents and young adults seeking help with mental health and addiction or behavioral disorders. Personalized treatment plans are created to meet the individual and specific needs of patients and their families. Treatment plans may consist of therapy methods such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), attachment theory, experiential therapies, and SMART Recovery addiction treatment. These methods are used to treat a variety of mental illnesses and disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trauma, and addiction. The experienced and knowledgeable staff at Embark can also address social isolation or bullying, gaming or internet addictions, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), reactive attachment disorder (RAD), and self-harm or suicidal ideation.
Embark at Scottsdale’s partial hospitalization program (PHP), also known as their therapeutic day program, is their most intensive level of care. The therapeutic day program services patients that are stepping down a level of care after completing a residential treatment program, or looking for a level of care that is more intensive than their other outpatient programs provide. Day treatment typically consists of 27-30 hours of treatment attended over 5 days per week while allowing patients to continue to live at home. Along with 1-on-1, group, and family counseling services, the educational services at Embark allow students to continue their academic work and receive credits that can be transferred back to their school.
Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) allows participants to continue with their individualized treatment plans and attend group and individual therapy sessions while requiring less of a time commitment. Intensive outpatient is group-focused and involves attending sessions 3-4 days per week for 3 hours per day. In addition to group sessions, patients also continue with their individual therapies and family counseling services. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) takes place in the evenings in order to accommodate school and work schedules, allowing youths and their families to receive treatment while still attending to their every-day responsibilities. When patients are ready for a less intensive level of care, Embark’s continuum of care allows for outpatient 1-on-1 therapy to continue on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, as well as offering virtual or in-home counseling services for individuals and their families.
