Agave Ridge Behavioral Hospital is a state-of-the-art, 100-bed hospital that is purposefully designed to address the growing need in Arizona for more accessible, high-quality behavioral healthcare services. It will offer a full continuum of inpatient behavioral healthcare services for adult, older adult and pediatric patients, including comprehensive treatment for those who struggle with acute symptoms of behavioral health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“Agave Ridge expands access to high-quality care in a region where many residents struggle with mental health and addiction issues,” said Chris Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of Acadia Healthcare. “We are grateful to local officials for their leadership and support in this effort. This hospital aligns with Acadia’s purpose to ‘Lead Care with Light,’ providing those throughout the country the access to the resources and compassion they need to heal and recover.”

“This new hospital will help to address a critical need for access to behavioral health services that has rippled across our state,” said Jennifer Nuñez, Chief Executive Officer of Agave Ridge Behavioral Hospital. “It is estimated that Mesa and the surrounding communities have a deficit of more than 800 behavioral health beds. Our hospital’s leadership and staff have worked extremely hard to prepare the hospital for accepting and treating these patients. We are excited to join our community health partners, and we look forward to working together to make a positive difference.”
