Banner McKee Medical Center

Set in a commercial neighborhood just off Highway 34/Eisenhower Boulevard, Banner McKee Medical Center serves teens 12+ and adults with mental health or substance use disorders. As part of the Banner Health network, they serve clients in a hospital-like setting and leverage their organization network to serve clients with other healthcare needs in an integrated facility. Their location is open 24/7.

Flexible to Clients' Individual Needs

Banner can take a 12-Step or a non-12-Step approach to care based on clients' preferences and needs. Along with medication management, they offer traditional evidence-based talk therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Some additional therapies they offer that you might not expect at a hospital include dog therapy, aroma therapy, music therapy, reiki, and electroconvulsive therapy.

Special Considerations for Adolescents

While Banner uses many of the same therapies for teens 12-17 that they use for adults, Banner's teen program places additional emphasis on their family therapy, group dynamic therapies, and life skills therapies to help teens learn to cope with their circumstances and avoid risk-taking behaviors. Banner takes the client's age into consideration when considering visit and cell phone policies

Special Considerations for Older Adults

Banner designs its facilities for accessibility and considers the needs of adults with limited mobility and with co-occurring memory conditions that may affect treatment. Their McKee Medical Center in particular has accommodations designed to help older clients socialize and bathe.
