Situated in the southwestern part of Glendale, Banner Behavioral Health Hospital caters to adolescents aged 12 and up, as well as adults dealing with mental health issues or substance use disorders. As a member of the Banner Health network, the center provides care in a hospital-like environment and utilizes connections within the network to address a wider range of healthcare needs in a cohesive manner. The facility operates around the clock, available 24/7. Banner offers both 12-Step and non-12-Step treatment options to align with individual client preferences and requirements. In addition to medication management, they provide a variety of evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Unique therapeutic modalities available at the hospital include animal-assisted therapy, aroma therapy, music therapy, reiki, and electroconvulsive therapy. While employing similar therapeutic techniques across all age groups, the therapists for children and teens place a stronger focus on family therapy, group dynamics, and life skills training, aimed at helping younger clients manage their challenges and engage in safer behaviors. The program for children is housed in a brightly designed area featuring a basketball court to create a more inviting atmosphere. Banner also considers the age of the client when determining policies regarding visitors and cell phone usage.
