Utah mental health center FAQ

How do youths transition back home?

We want to make sure whole-family healing can take place, which is why we provide therapeutic coaching and support for the entire family. Once your son, daughter, or LGBTQ+ child completes our program, we will work with you and your local healthcare professionals to ensure a seamless and successful return home.

How soon can my child start at your Utah mental health facility?

When treatment can start depends on the availability of the particular program, but we work quickly to ensure your child is admitted as soon as possible. Our admissions specialists help guide you through the process so your child and family can effectively begin the healing journey.

How do caregivers discuss going to a mental health center with their child?

Help motivate your adolescent, teen, or young adult 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 a few testimonials from our Embark locations.

How do residential treatment centers differ from other inpatient programs?

The biggest difference between a typical inpatient treatment program and residential mental health facilities is the environment. While a typical inpatient facility has a hospitalization environment, RTCs provide healing, nurturing settings where youth can work through difficult mental health issues like trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Why do youth go to our Utah residential treatment centers?

Young people go to our inpatient treatment centers in Utah because of the intensive care they provide for a wide range of mental health conditions such as self-harm, BPD, and ADHD.

Our residential facilities can be a wonderful option for adolescents and teens who have safety issues, lack support at home, or need a high level of care after inpatient hospitalization or outpatient treatment.

How will my child’s individual needs be met?

Embark's Utah residential treatment facilities are well-equipped to meet the individual and special needs of each youth in their care. Upon admission, a comprehensive assessment is conducted, including any mental health conditions or behavioral issues. This assessment serves as the foundation for creating a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to address your son, daughter, or LGBTQ+ child’s challenges and goals.
