Outpatient Behavioral Health Services

Coping with a mental or behavioral health condition can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to balance work, school and family responsibilities. Banner Health offers a wide range of outpatient care options for children, teens and adults — so you can focus on healing while staying connected to everyday life. 

What are outpatient behavioral health services? 

Outpatient mental and behavioral health programs allow you to receive support while living at home. You do not stay overnight in a hospital or treatment facility. 

Banner Health’s outpatient care is designed for people experiencing challenges such as: 

• Anxiety disorders 
• Bipolar disorder 
• Chemical dependency 
• Depression and mood disorders 
• Personality disorders 
• Self-harming thoughts or behaviors 
• Behavioral health-related sleep disorders 

Many patients participate in outpatient care after an inpatient stay as a step-down to ongoing support. Family involvement is encouraged whenever appropriate to support long-term recovery. 

Treatment options we offer 

Our state-licensed clinical therapists, counselors and medical professionals create individualized treatment plans based on your needs. Programs may include: 

• Counseling and psychotherapy (individual, family or group) 
• Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for teens and adults 
• Medication management 
• Stress management and relapse prevention groups 
• Chemical dependency treatment programs 
• Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) 
• 12-step support 
• Grief, hospice and caregiver support groups 
• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) when clinically appropriate 
• Integrative therapies such as music and pet therapy 

Your care team will help determine the right combination of therapies to support your goals.
