Tucson, Ariz.-based Artemis Adolescent Healing Center has expanded capacity at its residential treatment, adding 10 beds for adolescent patients.
The expansion increases the number of teens the center can serve from Pima County and nationwide for treatment of mental health conditions, substance use and co-occurring disorders, according to a March 20 news release from Artemis. The organization also upgraded facilities aimed at supporting whole-person health, including a half basketball court, tennis court, pool and putting green.
The added capacity reflects rising demand for adolescent behavioral healthcare services, the release said. A study found that more than 10% of pediatric visits to the emergency department for mental health conditions result in emergency department boarding, and the CDC in 2024 declared that youths are experiencing a mental health crisis.
Artemis Adolescent Healing Center provides treatment for patients ages 12-17.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place October 20–22 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
