Banner Behavioral Health Hospital

About Banner Behavioral Health Hospital

Located in the Old Town Scottsdale area, Banner Behavioral Health Hospital provides treatment for teens 12 and older and adults who are dealing with mental health or substance use challenges. As part of the Banner Health network, the center offers a hospital-like environment and also draws on resources from the broader organization to support clients with additional healthcare needs in a coordinated, integrated setting. The facility is available around the clock.

Banner can provide either a 12-Step or non-12-Step model of care, depending on what best fits each client’s preferences and clinical needs. Treatment typically includes medication management along with established therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). In addition, the hospital offers a range of services that are less commonly found in a traditional hospital setting, including dog therapy, aroma therapy, music therapy, reiki, and electroconvulsive therapy.

Although the therapies used for teens 12–17 overlap with those offered to adults, the teen program also adds extra focus on family therapy, group-based interventions, and life skills training. This is designed to help adolescents build coping strategies, understand their situation, and reduce the likelihood of risk-taking. Banner also considers a client’s age when setting expectations around visits and cell phone use.

For those interested in outpatient options, there is a behavioral health center nearby, roughly 15 minutes away.
