How We Can Help
Our supportive housing and residential treatment options help young adults on a journey of personal exploration, health and independence while providing college and vocational support, as well as recreational and therapeutic opportunities.
What to Expect
With three different locations in southern Oregon, Dragonfly Transitions helps students to set and exceed educational, recreational, social, therapeutic and vocational goals. Providing a continuum of support as students move towards independence, Dragonfly provides a caring environment that empowers young adults to flourish.
Dragonfly Transitions Treatment
Just as no two paths in life are the same, no two treatment programs are the same. The teams at our transitional living programs and residential treatment centers are committed to respecting the autonomy and privacy of students, encouraging them to find balance and consistency in their education, employment, fitness, nutrition, relationships, and independent living skills.
Family and friends of students have noticed that their loved one cannot set and achieve modest goals and may have a poor track record staying employed. Anxiety and depression may have led to patterns of avoidance and engagement in meeting the developmental milestones of a young adult.
At Dragonfly, students learn how to challenge negative behavioral patterns, find the root of the challenge and learn how to confront life as an independent adult.
Services we offer include:
- Residential treatment
- Transitional living
- Life skills
- Distress tolerance
- Nutrition and meal planning
Our transitional living and residential treatment programs serve teens and young adults. Students who come to Dragonfly Transitions have often fallen behind the normal developmental curve due to:
- ADHD
- Anxiety
- Autism
- Body image issues
- Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
- Bipolar disorder
- Codependency
- Excessive technology use
- Grief
- Identity issues
- Learning differences
- Mood disorder
- Oppositional defiant disorder
- School issues
- Social isolation
- Self-harm/cutting
- Suicidal ideation
- Trauma and/or significant loss
- Other mental health issues
Students move through four distinct phases at an individual pace. In phase one, Dragonfly students develop an individualized treatment plan addressing their unique goals and issues. In phase two, students gain increased responsibility for making positive life changes and demonstrate consistency in their new behaviors. They also begin to explore new activities and experiment with a new lifestyle. Here, students focus on budget and personal finances. In phase three, students have demonstrated they are reliable and trustworthy. Here they are asked to take on a leadership role in their peer group, helping others in their journey towards healing and independence. Phase four is an optional phase where students can move into Dragonfly’s community of Ashland or Klamath Falls in their own apartment or college dorm. Here, students manage their life with minimal external support. Each house is located in a residential area to help students feel more at home and connected to their familiar life.

Location Reviews
Thomas
Embark was fantastic for our daughter. The staff and especially the therapist helped our daughter learn DBT skills necessary to help her with her OCD, depression, and anxiety. We highly recommend it!
Jennifer
My daughter just finished the Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program and the results are incredible. She connected with people from all over the country during her therapy sessions. The entire staff is amazing and always made sure to keep myself and my husband informed of any changes in our daughter’s behavior. I would highly recommend this program as well as Embark. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM! Our daughter has learned so much because of you.
Tarran
This program has absolutely changed my life. Being a former client of the VIOP program I would recommend this treatment to anyone who is struggling. Embark is the most welcoming and helpful program I have ever been a part of. They make sure the client’s voice is heard, along with the views of Parents/Guardians. I have learned countless DBT skills and have created long lasting relationships with my peers. I owe a huge thanks to the team at Embark for helping me create the life I deserve to live.
Laura
Our 15 year old daughter completed the VIOP in the Spring of 2023. We live in a rural area and do not have access to a IOP within driving distance. We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Embark. We found the program to be very well run with highly skilled professionals. The program has been developed especially for a virtual platform. The client participation requirements, individual therapy, medication management, and engagement with the entire family really set this program apart from other DBT options we explored in the past.
Annelise
Awesome program! As a former client, I have grown a tremendous amount since embarking (get it) on my journey with this behavioral health program. The therapists are extremely understanding, flexible, and attentive and truly make an effort to create personalized plans for you. Everyone is super welcoming and it really has a family feel to it. If you want to meet people that will positively transform your life and help you develop into the best version of you I highly recommend it!!
