About Banner – University Medical Center – Phoenix, Arizona

Banner – University Medical Center is an academic medical center in Phoenix, Arizona. Here, you’ll find a range of clinical care services, research activities, and medical training programs. For adults and teens in addiction recovery, they offer behavioral health and mental health services in both inpatient and outpatient environments.

Your treatment plan will be unique to you, but it will incorporate some type of counseling services. They offer individual, group, and family sessions depending on what you need and what makes you feel the most comfortable. If your doctor believes that you could benefit from addiction medication, they can prescribe it as needed. These medications can help control your pain, minimize your cravings, and make you less likely to relapse.

One of my favorite things about this program is that they actively encourage family members to get involved. They understand that your recovery will be easier if you have support from your loved ones. So, your family members are encouraged to sit in on your counseling sessions and participate as much as they feel led. Together, you’ll learn about the disease of addiction, address some of your triggers, and learn healthier ways to cope with stress and emotions.

One person who’s visited the behavioral health department said their doctor was very knowledgeable and attentive. Another agrees, saying that the staff members are patient and dedicated to doing things the right way. However, several people have experienced difficulties with scheduling and communication.
