Is there a teen mental illness epidemic in Phoenix?

According to Arizona demographic statistics, Phoenix has more teenagers than any other Arizona city. Phoenix census data indicate that 1, 737 Arizona children are in the juvenile court system, and 70% of them have a mental illness (with 20% battling severe mental illness). In addition, 69% of Arizona teens (14 and older) with severe mental health issues are school dropouts.

More concerning, Mental Health America recently ranked Arizona 38th among the states in mental illness prevalence and 47th for youth access to mental health care, suggesting the state has lots of room for improvement.

Due to the resulting high demand for youth residential treatment centers, Avery’s House is expanding around Phoenix by opening more facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Several indicators suggest that residential treatment may be appropriate for a teen, including enduring struggles in school despite traditional interventions, a history of running away, self-harm urges or suicidal ideation, substance abuse, frequent disruptive or dangerous behaviors, or a significant mental health condition (e.g., depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder).

Stays vary, but a typical length is 30 to 90 days. Our experienced clinical staff assesses cases individually and monitors progress to make the best recommendation for each teen.

Absolutely! We invite all prospective clients to tour our home and meet our staff, as this is often necessary for a parent to feel confident and secure about leaving their teen in our care.

The effectiveness of residential treatment for teens varies depending on factors like severity of issues, facility quality, staff experience, and treatment modalities. However, research and clinical experience suggest that when comprehensive and evidence-based, these programs are highly effective for many teens.

Teens in residential treatment have structured days that include therapy sessions, group activities, meals, and other scheduled and supervised events. Therapies may include individual and family counseling; group therapy; holistic activities like meditation; and art, music, and equine therapies.

Education is critically important for a teen’s future. At Avery’s House, we work with each resident to help them develop crucial academic and/or vocational skills and ensure they don’t fall behind in school.
