About

About Aurora Behavioral Health System Tempe

Aurora Behavioral Health System Tempe operates as one of Arizona’s largest free-standing psychiatric hospitals, anchoring inpatient and outpatient mental health and addiction services on the south side of Tempe. The 6350 South Maple Avenue campus is positioned in southern Maricopa County, within easy reach of Phoenix, Mesa, and the East Valley. It is part of the two-hospital Aurora Arizona system, paired with a sister campus in Glendale.

As a hospital-licensed program, Aurora Tempe delivers the full inpatient continuum that community-based clinics cannot match: medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, and standard outpatient care, all under one Joint Commission-accredited roof. The facility’s hospital licensing also means 24/7 psychiatric coverage and a clinical environment built to manage acute mental health crises alongside substance use stabilization.

Patient populations include adolescents, adults, men, women, and patients who are Deaf or hard of hearing — an accessibility profile that is rare among Arizona behavioral health hospitals and is documented in SAMHSA records. Clinically, the program treats anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, and a wide range of substance use disorders including alcohol, opioid, methamphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepine, and synthetic cannabinoid addictions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is documented as a core therapeutic method.

The hospital is led by CEO Chelsea Vickers, whose welcome letter on the program’s website frames Aurora’s approach around individualized care. Payment is broad — Medicaid (AHCCCS), Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay are listed in SAMHSA. The 24/7 Patient Services helpline at (877) 870-7012 handles confidential assessments around the clock, and the program publishes admissions FAQs, brochures, and price-transparency information online to support family decision-making.
