About Aurora Behavioral Health System
Aurora Behavioral Health System is Arizona’s largest free-standing psychiatric hospital system, with a Glendale campus at 6015 W Peoria Avenue and a sister East campus in Tempe. SAMHSA records the East campus as Joint Commission-accredited with medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient, and IOP services; the same corporate clinical model is delivered at the Glendale (West) hospital, which is the focus of this listing.
The Glendale hospital provides a wide spectrum of behavioral-health services across acuity levels: adult inpatient psychiatry, a dedicated detox and chemical dependency unit, adolescent programs, outpatient services, and specialized programs including ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), equine therapy, a Specialized Needs Unit, a Chaplain Services Program, and a trauma-focused Intensive Outpatient Program. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of the standard therapeutic toolkit.
Aurora treats a broad range of psychiatric and substance use conditions — anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, psychological trauma, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and chemical dependency including alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, inhalant, club-drug, and synthetic-cannabinoid use. SAMHSA records services for adolescents, men, women, and Deaf or hard-of-hearing patients with American Sign Language access.
The hospital is led by Chelsea Vickers, CEO, whose welcome message describes Aurora’s mission as ‘inspiring hope and wellness in every patient through exceptional individualized care.’ A 24/7 Patient Services Helpline at (877) 870-7012 handles free confidential assessments and admissions. The Glendale facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay per SAMHSA; the Aurora website maintains ‘Insurances Accepted’ and ‘Price Transparency’ pages for verification before admission.
