More Info

We understand how hard it is to see your teen struggle with severe mental health issues like depression or anxiety. At our Alexandria, Virginia residential center, we offer 24/7 care for youths ages 12-17. With a compassionate team, we provide personalized therapy in a safe, supportive environment.

About Our Center

Family-Centered Healing  At our residential treatment center, we believe that family involvement is key to a teen’s healing process. Our program fosters open communication, trust, and connection between parents and teens, offering family involvement to strengthen trusting relationships. We work closely with families to ensure they’re involved every step of the way, offering support and guidance to help everyone heal together. Through family workshops and regular check-ins, we aim to rebuild bonds and create a supportive environment both during treatment and at home.  Personalized Mental Health Care for Lasting Results  Our residential treatment centers are designed to help your teen. Our data-backed outcomes show that teens who have attended our recovery treatment centers (RTC) experience decreased anxiety, depression, and distress, along with improved overall well-being. Our programs also tailor each treatment plan to meet your teen’s unique needs, using evidence-based therapies like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). We know how difficult mental health conditions can be for teens and families. We're here to walk with you every step of the way, ensuring your teen gets the care they deserve in a safe, nurturing environment.  If you're concerned about your son or daughter, we’re here for you. Embark Behavioral Health offers a variety of in-person and virtual treatment options across the U.S., including intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), virtual IOPs, residential treatment centers, therapeutic boarding schools and transitional living programs that help adolescents, teens, and young adults heal. Contact us today, and we'll help you find the right treatment option to help your son or daughter.
