Embark Behavioral Health in White Haven, Pennsylvania

It can be hard for adolescents and teens to think about or accept going to a residential treatment center to address their difficult mental health issues. Help motivate your child to embrace this type of treatment by asking open-ended questions about their situation and how this experience could improve it. Reassure them you’ll provide support by participating in family therapy during their stay and maintaining regular communication with them while they’re at the facility. Share success stories from residential treatment programs. We’re happy to provide a few testimonials from our Embark locations.  

Our treatments are necessary when your adolescent or teen’s mental health needs are too great for outpatient care, or when they are stepping down in treatment intensity, for example from an inpatient hospitalization program. Residential treatment can also be a good option if someone feels unsafe at home, or for those who are trying to break out of a negative daily routine. 

Youth from all over the United States come to our residential treatment center due to the intensive 24-hour care it can provide for a wide range of mental health issues. For adolescents and teens who have educational needs, safety issues, lack of support at home, need intensive treatment after inpatient care or needed a more in-depth treatment option after outpatient treatment, treatment at our facility can be a good option. 

The length of treatment differs for each adolescent and teen, but on average residential treatment at our program lasts around 90 days. 

The main differences between residential care at our Pennsylvania facility and inpatient treatment are the treatment environments and lengths of care. Our beautiful location in White Haven provides adolescents and teens with a home-like environment and a schedule that mirrors home life but has more therapy mixed in throughout the day. Inpatient treatment usually takes place in a hospital environment. Our treatment center also provides a longer treatment time in comparison to inpatient treatment, which can last around 30 days on average. 

During residential care, adolescent and teen girls will live at our treatment center in Pennsylvania and participate in a schedule of activities centered around treating mental health conditions and healing. The benefit of residential care is that it is affordable, makes it easy for adolescents to jump back into life at home, and it is frequently reimbursed by insurance.
