About Aurora Behavioral Health System – Tempe

Aurora Behavioral Health System - Tempe offers both inpatient and outpatient programs for substance use and chemical dependency treatment in Tempe, Arizona. They provide free assessments that are accessible around the clock seven days a week along with a voluntary intake procedure. They have accreditation from the Joint Commission and are licensed by the Office of Behavioral Health of the Arizona Department of Health Services. Together with Medicare and AHCCCS plans they take all major private insurances.

They provide targeted specialized care for adolescents in addition to treating adults. Helping patients overcome substance abuse issues is a skill their team has been practicing for decades. Additionally, they have experience treating a range of mental health conditions in patients with dual diagnoses as well as substance addiction and chemical dependency issues.

For patients who require round the clock monitoring and prompt stabilization, their inpatient services are suitable. Their medication management, inpatient chemical detoxification and treatment programs are beneficial for individuals with chemical dependency. They provide both intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization services as outpatient services.

Their outpatient programs enable individuals to get the treatment they require for substance abuse problems while adhering to their work and home schedules. Outpatient treatment programs also give patients who recently finished inpatient substance abuse programs the necessary follow up care.

Group talk therapy sessions are a part of treatment plans. Patients receive treatment from behavioral health specialists who help them understand the underlying problems and behavioral patterns that lead to substance abuse. After that patients get knowledge on how to break those habits and refrain from abusing drugs. A supportive home environment is encouraged for each patient following treatment, thanks to the inclusion of education and counseling components for family members.

This is a tobacco free establishment. Smoking is prohibited inside the building at all times including during the admission and exit processes.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

If a person denies their substance abuse behavior when confronted one-on-one, a drug intervention in Arizona may be necessary. An intervention may be formally planned with intervention services from a professional who can guide loved ones through this process. The intervention involves confronting someone with how their drinking or drug use has affected themselves and everyone around them and encourages them to get treatment.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

The initial phase of recovery treatment typically includes 24-hour clinical care in Arizona. This constant supervision ensures a safe detox process, which helps the individual physically stabilize from substance use. Patients will receive medications to curb withdrawal symptoms and cravings, as well as other necessary medical treatment. This period typically lasts up to a week, then the individual will receive medical clearance to begin inpatient or outpatient rehab.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

The goal of motivational interviewing in Arizona is to enhance your confidence in your ability to make changes in your life. It encourages you to commit to change and plan for the process of making those changes that will allow you to reach your goals.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Was transported to this place. I informed ALL personal the ER staff, crisis person, and aurora that I am on VA benefits. I was told "not to worry we have it documented and understand". Aurora said "don't worry we work with the VA all the time you are covered for all mental health under VA benefits".My hole time there I got no help for anxiety which is why I went. All they did was give me the medication the VA doctor gave me a month before and talked to the doctor once a day for 5min and it was the SAME questions. Now I got a bill for $13,000+ for only a week stay VA denied the bill due to aurora not billing correctly. I've made several attempts to contact and get someone on the phone to answer questions with NO answer or any follow-up.Good thing I'm very good at keeping logs for my whole time at aurora I kept a log date, times, names and what was said, food, medication I took and times, EVERYTHING.Now they want $13,000+ talk about fraud and medical malpractice.Good thing I have family members who worked and retired from the attorneys General office Maybe this review will get someone in aurora corporate office to contact me and by corporate I DONT mean someone at the facility I mean someone AT THE CORPORATE OFFICE!Next contact will be from news, VFW and attorney.UPDATE: I've sent you all emails and phone calls and NOTHING! But you all are now having a collection agency calling me.How you all going to charge over $13,000 for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Also I REFUSED to sign your paperwork that said "if my insurance does not pay I will be liable to pay." So you have no ground or legal right to attempt to collect from me. Each and every person I talked to before I went, during and after where ALL informed I ONLY have VA health care.So now I'll have my attorney also add credit damage and wrongful attempt to collect in the lawsuit.And to say you don't have my contact information is a LIE.

I attended an experiential training on Parts work by Katie Tiffany and it was safe, promoted reflection, helped me develop insight, and promoted growth. I also went away with some very useful, helpful tools and interventions to use with my clients. Thank you so much!

I was in aurora for about a week, about two years back, because I wanted to commit suicide due to my depression. I am a Trans Masculine individual. Firstly, I'd like to say, You were all extremely unprofessional, you all treated me as if I was a female, even though I had told the staff many times that I was most certainly not, although I am transgender... One of the nurses had told me that I am "technically" a female so I should just get over it, my identity was not being respected, therefore I was not being respected. And trust me, everyone got the same attitude from the staff, they did very little for any of the other children staying there.I was very uncomfortable upon my arrival, and I was of course, asked to strip infront of a nurse. I asked the female nurse that came into my room if I could have a male one, because I am severely uncomfortable with female nurses because of past trauma and the fact that this nurse had similarities.They denied my right to one, and I was made to strip, clearly uncomfortable and not consenting, I had tried to make excuses for it in my head as to why they denied my right to a male nurse for example: "Oh, well. Maybe it's too late and all the male nurses have gone?" It was 3pm on a tuesday. No way they were gone... But, alas, it was certainly Not Good on my point of view.I had to fight to make a "revolution", with another Trans friend of mine who had come there to make sure that we got the respect we deserved, yet, me and him only won the right to sit at the boys table after putting up a fight forever with the head therapist. I was extremely and thoroughly disappointed with all of the staff. The night staff were awful, they had told me to just "Deal with it" and I felt none of my needs were being met.I am overweight. My friend (whom of which is thin) and I had noticed that they would serve out smaller portions of food and I would be fed "lighter" meals to keep me "healthy", and would practically force my thin friend, who bare in mind, was a healthy weight, drink 4 ensures A DAY, even after my friend had communicated that it upset his stomach, they still told him he had to.The only time we got to go outside on the patio was once, the whole week I was there. By the end of my visit to aurora I was sickly pale and I felt very weak when I came back to my house. It took me a while to start eating regularly again.This really upset me, by the time I figured out how messed up it really was.But fearing that I was just "crazy" (Like every mentally ill person in the world, especially ones who go through this kind of treatment) I never said a word about my experience, I felt utterly brainwashed, the minute you walk out of that place and see the trees.You all made me feel wrong, insane, and like I was worth little to nothing. Seeing the nurses ignore and not nurture or attempt to comfort a younger, mentally handicapped They kept me safe, but the memories, and everything I heard and saw I will never forget. So, all in all, I would NOT recommend taking any mentally ill person here, if you are able to, always look at the reviews of mental health facilities, before you go.I do not wish that hellish of a stay upon anyone.Edit: august 2024. it's been years. I still do not recommend this place for any youth or adults. Thank you all for the likes and views on this review. You are strong, I am still going, you can too. We must sustain and remain.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I checked myself into inpatient care and it was HORRIBLE. There was maybe two kind nurses every shift and I was treated less than human by DR. LUNA!!! Dr. Luna was the worst of them all. She tricked me into signing an AMA and I got sent to CBI which I would compare to jail. It was the most traumatic week of my life. Please if you re looking for care look else where, PLEASE. There are so many better options.

Just completed an 8 week IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) for mental health issues. 3 days per week 3 hours per day. Group size was up to 10 and a therapist lead us throughout the 3 hours each day. I self-signed up because I was clinically depressed with massive anxiety plus a few other mental health issues all of which I have been dealing with since I was 14. Although I am not completely cured I feel so much better and am starting to participate in my life again. I am going to see how I manage over the next few weeks and I am open to doing another 8 week IOP if I need the support. Keep up the good work Brad and all of the wonderful support staff.
