Embark at Bend offers short-term
residential treatment in a peaceful and healing environment for preteen and teenage girls struggling with behavioral health and addiction. Specializing in dual-diagnosis, Embark combines evidence-based methods with experiential and animal-assisted therapies, taking a
holistic approach to treatment. Their inpatient treatment services address and treat mental health and co-occurring disorders using dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), substance abuse counseling and education, and recovery groups. Embark at Bend provides a structured and supportive environment, with daily schedules consisting of activities that promote mental health and healthy daily living, individual and
group therapy sessions, exercise, access to nature, and nutritional meals. In combination with their
family therapy services, this approach is meant to build confidence, improve social-emotional functioning, and strengthen relationships. Anger and mood regulation, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD), family conflict, and self harm or suicidal ideation are some of the more common mental and behavioral health conditions they specialize in treating.
The residential treatment program at Embark offers patients access to nature and a variety of therapeutic activities. Animal-assisted therapies, sensory rooms, poetry writing, and art projects are some of the methods they use to target emotional well-being. Structured group activities like laser tag, karaoke, baking, and group service projects are offered to promote healthy social-skills, connections, and fun. Rock climbing, hiking, roller skating, swimming, bowling, trampolining, geocaching, and snowshoeing are some of the physical activities individuals can experience, while yoga, meditation, dance, plays, or improv can strengthen spiritual and intellectual health.
