What They Treat Embark at Newport Beach specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of adolescents and families struggling with mental health and behavioral disorders. Some of the more common conditions they treat include anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Other mental illnesses they can address are eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar, borderline personality disorder (BPD), family conflict, social isolation, and technology addiction. Patients and their families participate in creating individualized treatment plans that will meet their specific and unique needs. The knowledgeable and experienced staff at Embark use evidence-based treatment methods such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and self-management and recovery training (SMART) addiction counseling. Partial Hospitalization Program The partial hospitalization program (PHP), commonly known as the therapeutic day program at Embark, is their most intensive level of care. The therapeutic day program supports patients who are transitioning out of a residential treatment program or seeking a more intensive level of care in comparison to what the other outpatient programs provide. Day treatment often consists of 27-30 hours of treatment spread out over 5 days per week while patients remain living at home. In addition to 1-on-1, group, and family therapy, Embark’s educational services allow students to continue their academic work and gain credits that can be transferred back to their school. Intensive Outpatient Program 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.
