Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Set in the southwest corner of Glendale, Banner Behavioral Health Hospital serves teens 12+ and adults with mental health or substance use disorders. As part of the Banner Health network, they serve clients in a hospital-like setting and leverage their organization network to serve clients with other healthcare needs in an integrated facility. Their location is open 24/7. Banner can take a 12-Step or a non-12-Step approach to care based on clients' preferences and needs. Along with medication management, they offer traditional evidence-based talk therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Some additional therapies they offer that you might not expect at a hospital include dog therapy, aroma therapy, music therapy, reiki, and electroconvulsive therapy. While Banner uses many of the same therapies for all age groups, their kid and teen therapists place additional emphasis on their family therapy, group dynamic therapies, and life skills therapies to help teens learn to cope with their circumstances and avoid risk-taking behaviors. Their children's program takes place in a wing with extra color and a basketball court that aim to make treatment more welcoming. Banner takes the client's age into consideration when considering visit and cell phone policies.
