embark at chevy chase

At Embark at Chevy Chase, young people from 9 through 18 receive care for mental health conditions and addiction, and their families get support too. A partial hospitalization program sits at the center of what the center offers: a structured daytime therapeutic schedule where participants attend therapy while teachers and tutors give close one-on-one help so schoolwork does not fall behind. Students are able to earn credits that their home school may accept.

This level of care is meant for young people dealing with psychiatric symptoms that are serious or getting worse and hard to handle, yet who do not need someone watching them around the clock. Treatment can involve dialectical behavior therapy, one-on-one coaching and counseling, therapy in groups and with family, and other experiential methods. For a less intensive route, the center runs an intensive outpatient program held in the evening, and a virtual IOP when coming in person isn't workable. If your child needs a structured daytime program that doesn't include overnight care, the PHP at Embark at Chevy Chase may be a good fit.

The center aims to support adolescents and young adults facing various emotional, behavioral, and mental health struggles. Its team works with conditions including borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as eating disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, reactive attachment disorder, gaming addiction, and substance use. Care is shaped around each person's diagnosis and needs, offering practical tools within a supportive setting. Once you reach the helpline, you can ask whether the IOP at Embark at Chevy Chase in Maryland has room.
