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.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

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.

Treatments

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 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.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
