About Embark Behavioral Health – Benton – Benton, Tennessee

Embark Behavioral Health – Benton in Benton, Tennessee, is an accredited residential mental and behavioral health treatment center and school. It’s based among the picturesque mountains of Tennessee. Support here is available to teen boys and young men. Flexible payment is available, and various insurance options are accepted.

The center’s unique developmental framework is designed to help residents heal and grow, all within the calming, therapeutic backdrop of Tennessee’s natural mountainous beauty. A structured daily schedule of mental and behavioral treatment is designed to provide a mixed bag of therapy, recreational activities, and schooling for a holistic recovery program. Support is also available for individuals engaging in high-risk behaviors like drug use, self-harm and addiction.

A typical daily routine at this center might include individual, group, or family counseling; outdoor experiences; exercise; and functional daily activities. The center really makes the most of its surroundings to incorporate the healing power of the great outdoors as much as possible, through activities like strength training, mountain biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, camping, soccer and basketball. In this way, residents can reconnect with nature, their physicality, and emotions as they integrate all the therapeutic work they’re doing.

Activities like mindfulness, arts and crafts, and journaling help consolidate this and encourage further self-awareness throughout the recovery process. Meanwhile, taking part in service projects, games, and regular outings fulfills social needs.

A range of therapy styles is offered here, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), attachment-focused therapy, and brainspotting. Other experiential and recreational therapies offered include music therapy and equine therapy.
