The natural beauty of this location near the Springville freshwater springs offers a palpable sense of peace and serenity, lending itself perfectly to a calm, healing atmosphere. The facility itself represents a kind of oasis, far removed from the bustle of city life. In reality, it’s just 55 miles from Salt Lake City — close enough to make the most of the buzz for fun events and group activities.

The center prides itself on its safe, homely atmosphere and its 24/7 support for teens with mental and behavioral health conditions. This also includes care for high-risk behaviors like drug use, self-harm and addiction. The team keeps an open dialogue with parents, occasionally involving them in treatment where appropriate to help rebuild connection and trust.

Day-to-day, the center offers a structured and supportive routine designed with healing and emotional wellness in mind. The schedule involves daily individual and group therapy, school, exercise, mental health treatment and daily living activities. Family therapy is occasionally provided, too.

Therapy styles offered here include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), experiential therapy, art therapy, music therapy and equine therapy. Other mindful and therapeutic activities residents might participate in while at Embark include animal interactions, poetry writing, painting ceramics, crafting, karaoke, aerial silks, swimming, roller skating, hiking, paddle boarding, baking and service projects. Excursions may include taking the girls out to museums, libraries, aquariums, and other fun yet educational environments for a change of scenery.

Residents may also engage in spiritual practices like journaling, mindfulness practices, yoga, breathwork, and sound baths. These activities can promote relaxation, emotional regulation and self-awareness.

Length of treatment at this facility will vary depending on the person and their needs. Stays range anywhere from 60 to 180 days.

To my Embark family, I love and miss you. To those looking for employment and are considering Embark, do it. I was a college student looking for a job in the field of psychology and landed on Embark. I loved the flexibility of working 3 days a week and having the other 4 days to focus on school and homework. This schedule gave me a great balance and paid decently well. Not only was I getting credit for school, I was getting firsthand experience and knowledge to all the things I had been studying! Also being a young college student with younger siblings the same age as a lot of these kiddos gave me a big sister feeling at work. Just like siblings, they drive you crazy sometimes, but you end up building connections with them to where you care and love them as if they were your own siblings. It was incredibly fulfilling to watch these kids who came in with some deep trauma be able to start healing for the first time and continue to improve over time. The beginning for most was always a little rough as they adjusted to the schedule, house, and environment, but overtime many were leaving in tears as they said their goodbyes because they were going to miss so many aspects of the residential, mostly the staff and other kiddos who they built friendships with. Many times I too cried as they departed because I grew to LOVE these kids. I also cannot praise the staff enough, especially the supervisors, Emily and Megan, who I watched go ABOVE and BEYOND for both their staff and the kids. I still consider them as some of the most sympathetic/empathetic individuals I ve ever met. Among them are many more to name that I just loved working with (life coaches, therapists, residential directors, nurses, the one and only chef, etc.) hence why I started this long post by addressing it to my Embark family, because that is what they became to me. So again if you are considering applying, I say send it. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact in the lives of kids who really need it and you will have so much support from your supervisors who will treat you like a real human being! That s it for my rant but if you have any questions for me, reach out on my Google account and I will be happy to answer :) love yall

at first I didn't think embark would do anything for my mental health, before I was a drug addict, self harm addict, alcohol abuser, and I had my fair share of suicide attempts, but by the time I hit my 4 months at embark I realized I had grown so much as a person, I no longer wanted to do any of the unsafe activities I once did, and I know I never will go back to any of that. embark has shown respect, love, patience, and care to me and that's what I like about this place. I am very I joined this program, I would recommend embark to everyone if I could. :) <3bye embark! much love- The Ferngully Fairy Of Embark

Accepted Insurance

Embark Behavioral Health – Canyon Road Springville works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Addiction treatment at an inpatient rehab center is significantly more intensive than outpatient and community-based care. Clients remain at the facility for the duration of their program, though many centers offer supervised group excursions. Inpatient treatment typically consists of extensive psychotherapy, often including group and family counseling. Many programs also prioritize addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, art therapy, EMDR, and meditation, are commonly available as well.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Therapists may use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Utah to address substance use and mental health disorders. The main focus is to change thinking patterns, which leads to behavioral change. Subtypes of CBT include exposure therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance commitment therapy.

During dialectical behavior therapy in Utah, you'll work on developing four main skills. Interpersonal effectiveness helps you manage your relationships. Mindfulness keeps you present in the current moment rather than worry or regret. Distress tolerance helps you accept emotions. Emotional regulation gives you the tools you need to successfully manage intense emotions.

Community building is an important aspect of group therapy sessions in Utah. The sense of community building among participants encourages more transparent sharing of experiences in a judgment free environment. You create strong bonds with the people in your group that support your journey to recovery.

During individual therapy, men and women in Utah work with their therapists to build healthier daily habits and create coping strategies to manage stress. These are two components necessary for sustained sobriety and improved overall health.

The foundation of motivational interviewing in Utah rests on four pillars: partnership, evocation, acceptance, and compassion. The therapist collaborates with the client, encouraging them to explore their options and make informed decisions about making changes in their lives.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Couples at any stage of their relationship may benefit from couples therapy in Utah. It is designed to keep relationships on the right path by teaching both partners healthy forms of communication and conflict resolution.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Embark is a great company to work for. The leadership team is very focused on culture and addressing issues. I have been able to grow in this company through feedback and hard work. Since starting I have been able to communicate weekly with my managers, apply feedback, and use a structured program to received raises and promotions. Embark is a value oriented program. The values are Empathy, Service, Trusting Relationships, Growth, and Results. If these values resonate with you and you believe in changing the world through ripples; I highly recommend applying :)

I have worked at other residential facilities, and this one is by far the most caring toward their employees and students. I love the facility s program philosophy, that they focus on natural consequences as a way to help students to build real-life skills to succeed outside of treatment. The management and leadership culture here is so positive and transparent, encouraging growth and professional advancement. We really have such great, caring employees here that genuinely care about the kids and their success.

This is the most amazing facility for teens who are struggling and need extra support. They focus on the family not just the individual, this allows them to go home and thrive easier. This facility uses both individual and family therapy in a home setting where the students can learn how to go about normal day-to-day life while learning healthy coping skills & life skills while simultaneously being given structure and support. Highly recommend it for those looking for extra support for their kiddo! Plus, the views are amazing!

My timeline from my stay 9/23/23 to 6/21/24My regards go to Embark for being there for me through my 9 months. I made a lot of memories with all the staff and students and I would highly recommend it. Im not gonna lie and say there definitely was no chaos but I will say that we managed to get through it. Some of the staff were not my favorites in particular but I do appreciate them still.When I first arrived at Embark I was terrified. My family and friends were all the way in NJ and I was there. But getting to meet everyone helped me. I wanted to thank Joe, Abi, Tarran, Isla, Lalei, McKenna and many others for being there for me. I also wanted to give a shoutout to Yohan for being a real one. To bad he went MIA though.I was a struggling kid and desperately needed help my parents couldn t give. My parents tried everything. And before I went we lost the sense of family and my house was torn. I struggling with SH, Anger, and many other things. This was a hard decision for us all and Im so glad we decided to come here.The therapy and stuff was excellent and the groups were enjoyable as well as valuable.I wanted to thank all the staff and students for making my 9 months there excellent and I hope many others come out of Embark and are able to make peace with their past, thrive in the future, and move boldly into the future.-JennaThe Embark relic

$ grab. Scam. Avoid at all costs, emphasis on the costs! You give them all the facts & documentation of your child's condition, they say they can treat & help them, make little to no progress, even negative progress, after they get all the $ they can, say they can't help them, wait until late on a Friday & tell you to drop everything & come get your kid immediately. Watch out for them to tell your insurance that your child is "going down in levels" of support, as a warning sign that they want to release the client from their program. Additionally, they'll contact you to set up enrollment into a PHP or IOP at a facility near you as another sign. As soon as 2 weeks into your child's treatment there!!! The outpatient facility will initially contact you, then blow you off.

This place is amazing! The staff are wonderful and supportive in every way. They challenge and also support you. Changed my life in more ways than one and all for the better. Absolutely recommend this place. Ms. Noelle is a skilled therapist who helped rapier our family relationships and relationships with ourselves. Ms Robyn also led beneficial group therapy and helped out on hard days. The staff are talented. The excursions help add a sense of normalcy. Cannot praise this place enough.

My experience here has been really good! When I first got here i was really nervous and scared because I didn't know what to expect because this is my first residential. Honestly though I am so happy that I got to do something like this for my mental health and for my family. It really helped a lot with my relationships in the family, also I have changed for the better as a person! I would highly recommend Embark.
