Embark Behavioral Health in Independence, Missouri specializes in behavioral health services for teens aged 12 to 18 including addiction treatment. Care is provided in a coed, mixed gender environment. As for payment, various insurance plans are accepted with assistance available for families searching for suitable insurance options.
Nature-Based Residential Behavioral Health Care for Teens
This facility doesn’t provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) or detox services but it’s an ideal option for individuals searching for an ongoing treatment option. With this in mind, detox should not be attempted alone and is much safer when done under the guidance of a medical professional or addiction specialist.
For young people needing structured, intensive support, the center provides a supportive residential program with 24/7 care. It’s designed to meet the needs of teens aged 12 to 18 and various therapeutic methods are used. Alongside more traditional techniques, residents can expect to engage in special trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), recreational therapy and experiential therapies.
The facility itself is positioned near the free-flowing Missouri River on expansive grounds with easy access to nature. Thanks to this, outdoor activities are integrated as part of treatment with things like kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, camping, fishing, archery, golf, frisbee, swimming, and more available.
A fitness center and recreation room are also available here to help residents stay fit and wind down indoors when the weather isn’t so good.
Outpatient Behavioral Support for Adolescents in Jackson County
As well as residential care, the center also runs a partial hospitalization program (PHP), providing intensive day treatment that allows participants to head home in the evenings. Like the residential program, this option also encourages family involvement and takes a holistic approach to care.
Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.
