Embark Behavioral Health in Hurricane, Utah

During the admission process for the crisis residential program, teens and families can expect the following: 

1. Initial assessment: When calling our team, a phone assessment will be used to determine their eligibility for the program. This assessment may include a review of their medical or psychiatric history and a discussion about their current symptoms and needs. We’ll use all of this to determine if our residential crisis program is right for your teen.  
2. Payment Planning: We’ll discuss with you and your family the available treatment options such as insurance reimbursement or private pay, and the next steps.  
3. Treatment planning: Teens and families will work with our staff to discuss what will be involved with treatment, what can or cannot be brought to treatment, and when treatment can begin. 

Healthcare professionals, including therapists, psychiatrists, and primary care physicians, can refer patients to a residential crisis stabilization program.  These professionals can assess the severity of the crisis and determine if a higher level of care is necessary. 

A residential crisis stabilization program offers a safe and structured environment where teens can receive intensive mental health services. The program’s multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans and provide ongoing support and care to help teens stabilize and recover. 

Discussing the possibility of going to a residential crisis program with teens requires a compassionate and understanding approach. It is essential to create a safe space for open communication and express genuine concern for their well-being. 

1. Start by acknowledging their feelings and validating their experiences. Let them know that seeking help is a sign of strength and that the residential crisis program can provide the support they need during this challenging time. 
2. Encourage them to ask questions and express any concerns they may have. Emphasize that their well-being is the top priority and that the residential crisis program supports them on their recovery journey. 
3. Reassure teens by letting them know you’ll provide support by participating in family therapy during their stay and maintaining regular communication with them while at the facility.  
4. Share success stories from residential treatment programs. We’re happy to provide a few testimonials from our Embark locations.  

Teens may need a residential crisis stabilization program when they have experienced a mental health crisis that requires intensive support and stabilization in a healing residential environment. Some common indicators that a teen may benefit from a residential crisis program include severe symptoms of mental illness, increased risk of self-harm, severe depression, or suicide-related, thoughts, plans, or actions.  

A residential crisis housing stabilization program for teens provides a safe and supportive environment for teens to stabilize and recover from a mental health crisis. The program is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of teens and provide them with the necessary support and care to overcome severe mental health challenges.  

Behavioral health is a primary focus of the residential crisis housing stabilization program. Our crisis residential program offers a range of supportive services to help teens stabilize and improve their mental health. These services may include individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. Skill-building activities are also incorporated to promote healthy coping mechanisms and strategies.  

When our team has helped teens stabilize and heal mental health issues like depression and suicidal ideation, we’ll help provide some of the next best steps before discharge. This could involve our team providing discharge planning to ensure a smooth transition back into the community or providing recommendations for a transitional living program or outpatient treatment program if a teen needs further care.  

A crisis housing stabilization center differs from a regular residential center by providing intensive support, stabilization, assessment, and treatment in a residential setting for teens who have experienced a mental health crisis related to challenges like severe depression or suicide ideation. Unlike traditional residential facilities, residential crisis stabilization housing provides a long-term treatment environment of around 90-180 days specifically designed for teens who have experienced a mental health crisis or when a teen who has had a crisis needs to step down from inpatient psychiatric treatment or hospitalization. 

The duration of a residential crisis program can vary depending on the teen’s needs. While there is no fixed timeframe, crisis stabilization at a residential program can last from 90-180 days.
