Great place great employees and services. Graduated from inpatient treatment there 6 months ago and it was the best life changing experience ever for me. I owe them everything.....thank you all so much!!
Our son was here for about 75 days. The facilities are beautiful and very well maintained. The primary therapist and directors are very caring and worked exceptional hard with our son. Our son was not successful in this program but it was no fault of Embark. I think he learned many new skills to cope with life and was exposed to a very healthy group of meaningful individuals. He created some strong bonds with many of the staff. I was disappointed wirh some of the night staff and the difficulty with messages being relayed to our son or calls being returned but that had nothing to do with our sons treatment just made the process more frustrating. I also wish the equine therapy was more than 3 days but it did happen and my son enjoyed it. I would recommend this facility for children in emotional distress after all other counseling , therapies, and other treatments have failed. I wish my son could return for another month or two, as I think he is ready to do things differently- it takes what it takes for all children, but am grateful for Kayla, Kenneth, Casey, and a few others as that poured lots of love into our son
