Ranking Arizona announced Aurora Behavioral Health has been voted the top Behavioral Rehabilitation Facility in Arizona for the fourth consecutive year. With this esteemed recognition, Aurora is dedicated to supporting the community with the growing behavioral health needs for both adults and adolescents.
Mental wellness, specifically suicide prevention, and ending the opioid crisis, are part of a national conversation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one fourth of adults in the United States have a mental illness, and nearly half will develop at least one mental illness during their lifetime (2011). The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reports nearly 45,000 Americans die by suicide each year. Arizona loses approximately two lives each day in due to opioid-related causes (Arizona Department of Health Services). Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 15-34 in Arizona (American Foundation of Suicide Prevention).
While these statistics are staggering, many people needing treatment services never receive them. A primary reason people do not seek help is fear of judgment. This stigma associated with mental health and substance use disorders must be eradicated, or we will continue to lose more lives. Aurora is committed to changing the perspective on behavioral health through community engagement, advocacy, intervention, and prevention efforts. “We have been saving lives and restoring hope to those that need it the most. We are humbled to be given this prestigious title and will work diligently to be a champion of hope in our community”, said Bruce Waldo, CEO.
As a leader in behavioral health treatment for more than 10 years, Aurora has transformed the traditional psychiatric hospital experience into one that offers a holistic approach to treatment. Our expert staff believes in healing the entire person – physically, psychologically, and spiritually, while personalizing care to achieve the best outcomes. Aurora offers a Chaplain Services, along with animal-assisted (equine) therapy, art, music, and yoga, and other recreation-based treatment modalities to all patients.
