A Premier Residential Treatment Center in Missouri
Our premier short-term residential treatment program in Missouri, just outside of the Kansas City area, offers inpatient treatment perfect for adolescents and teens struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. Our residential program's beautiful location in the lush woods of Missouri provides a peaceful, serene setting for your son or daughter and family to reflect and grow. During your child’s stay, they can participate in therapeutic activities, coed sports, scavenger hunts, hiking, swimming, frisbee golf, movie nights, arts and crafts, and more.
For adolescent and teen girls and boys struggling with school refusal, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, and other mental health issues, the earlier they’re diagnosed, the more effective inpatient treatment can be. Identifying behaviors and symptoms early on and getting help, including specialized care, can prevent further and more severe problems from developing as your child enters adulthood.

Embark Residential Treatment in Missouri: FAQ
During short-term care, adolescents and teens will live at our beautiful residential treatment center in Missouri and participate in activities centered around treating mental health conditions and healing. Some of the benefits of short-term care at Embark are that it’s more affordable than long-term care, the shorter care we provide means teens and adolescents can more quickly transition back into life at home, and it’s frequently reimbursed by insurance.
The main differences between our short-term care and a typical inpatient treatment program are the treatment environment and length of stay. Our beautiful location in Missouri 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. Our facility also provides a longer treatment time, lasting around 90 days on average compared to an inpatient hospitalization stay that often lasts for several days.
The length of treatment differs for each adolescent and teen, but on average, short-term treatment at our Missouri facility lasts around 90 days.
Youths from all over the United States can come to our inpatient facility in Missouri for the intensive 24-hour care it can provide for a wide range of mental health and substance abuse issues. For adolescents and teens 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 facility can be a good option.
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. Short-term care can also be a good option if someone feels unsafe at home or is trying to break out of a negative daily routine.
