About Embark at Cabin John
Embark at Cabin John offers mental health and addiction services for adolescents and young adults aged 9-18 and their families. The highest level of care offered is their partial hospitalization program (PHP), a therapeutic day program engaging youth in specialized individual and group therapies and providing 1-on-1 attention from teachers and tutors assisting with school work. Students can also earn credits that can be transferred back to their school. The partial hospitalization program treats young people who may be experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms that are difficult to manage but don’t require 24-hour care with methods like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), individual coaching and counseling, group and family therapy sessions, as well as experiential therapies. The next step down from partial hospitalization is their intensive outpatient program (IOP), a similar treatment program to partial hospitalization but group and individual therapy sessions are held in the evening to accommodate school or work commitments for patients and families. Adolescents participating in intensive outpatient care have individualized treatment plans that can include therapies such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and SMART Recovery addiction treatment. Patients attend a minimum of 12 hours per week in intensive outpatient, generally 3 hours a day, 4-6 days per week. Embark at Cabin John also offers a virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) for a more accessible and convenient way to receive care when attending in-person sessions is not an option.
Embark specializes in treating adolescents and young adults who may be struggling with several different mental health and behavioral disorders. Their experienced and knowledgeable staff can provide treatment for mental illnesses such as borderline personality disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and anxiety. Other behavioral orders that may be treated are eating disorders, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), reactive attachment disorder (RAD), gaming addiction, and substance abuse and addiction.
