RTC frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do you discuss going to residential treatment in Montana with your child? 

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. 

When is residential treatment necessary?

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

Why do youths go to Embark’s residential treatment center in Montana?

Adolescents and teens from all over the United States can come to our beautiful facility for the intensive 24-hour care it can provide for a wide range of mental health issues. For youths who have safety issues or a lack of support at home or who need a high level of care after an inpatient hospitalization or outpatient treatment, our residential treatment center can be a good option.

How long does Embark residential treatment in Montana last?

The length of treatment differs for each adolescent and teen. Please consult an admissions counselor about your specific situation.

How does residential treatment at Embark in Montana differ from other inpatient treatment?

The main differences between our residential care and a typical inpatient treatment program are the treatment environment and length of stay. Our beautiful location in Marion provides adolescents and teens with residential treatment in a healing, nurturing setting and a schedule that mirrors home life but with therapy mixed in throughout the day. Inpatient treatment usually takes place in a hospital environment.

What is residential treatment like at the program in Montana?

During residential treatment, at our beautiful center in Montana, adolescents and teens will participate in a schedule of activities centered around treating mental health conditions and healing. Some of the benefits of residential care at Embark are that it’s more affordable than long-term care, young people can more quickly transition back into life at home, and it’s frequently reimbursed by insurance.
