Eating disorder treatment in Arizona

Arizona has residential and inpatient eating disorder care anchored by Rosewood, part of the Monte Nido family of programs. The Wickenburg campus provides medical stabilization, inpatient, and adult residential care. A separate adolescent residential program operates in Scottsdale, and day treatment (partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient) is at the Tempe site. The in-state programs have enough capacity to also accept patients referred from other states. The directory above lists every residential program alongside day-treatment and outpatient options.

Yes. Eating disorder treatment is part of the medical and behavioral health benefit. Coverage runs through your assigned AHCCCS plan, and the program you call can confirm whether they work with that plan. When you call, they will check whether they're in-network with your specific AHCCCS plan, since not every program accepts every plan.

Arizona's in-state eating disorder specialty programs are mainly in the Phoenix metro (Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Wickenburg) and Tucson. Northern Arizona, the Navajo Nation, the Hopi reservation, the eastern counties, and the western border counties have far fewer in-person specialty options. For families in those regions, virtual programs are usually the most workable option for outpatient and intensive outpatient care. Travel to Phoenix or Tucson is mainly for the higher levels of care that can only be given in person.
