A Behavioral Health Residential Facility, or BHRF, is a licensed healthcare institution in Arizona that provides 24-hour residential treatment for adults experiencing behavioral health conditions. Unlike inpatient psychiatric hospitals, BHRFs offer a structured therapeutic environment focused on building independent living skills while providing continuous clinical support. Our Phoenix BHRF helps residents stabilize symptoms, develop coping strategies, and prepare for successful community reintegration.

Yes, AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) covers BHRF treatment when medically necessary. Coverage requires documentation of a behavioral health condition causing significant functional impairment, along with evidence that less restrictive treatment options are insufficient. Our admissions team is experienced in working with Medicaid and commercial insurance health plans to verify coverage and obtain necessary authorizations.

Bougainvillea Manor provides residential treatment for adults with a wide range of behavioral health conditions, including anxiety disorders, major depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and personality disorders. We also specialize in dual diagnosis treatment for individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Our clinical team develops individualized treatment plans based on comprehensive assessment of each resident's unique needs.

Length of stay varies based on individual treatment needs, clinical progress, and insurance authorization. Arizona BHRF treatment is designed to be focused and goal-oriented, with ongoing assessment to determine when residents are ready to transition to less intensive care. Our team works with each resident's Child and Family Team (CFT) or Adult Recovery Team (ART) to review treatment progress and adjust discharge timelines as clinically appropriate.

We recommend residents bring comfortable clothing for at least one week, personal hygiene items, any current medications in original containers, insurance cards and identification, and a list of current medications and healthcare providers. Certain items are restricted for safety reasons, and our admissions team will provide a complete packing guide when you begin the intake process. We supply bedding, towels, and meals, so residents can focus entirely on their recovery.

We currently accept AHCCCS (AIHP) and Cigna (Evernorth). We are also actively working to expand our network and are in the credentialing process with several providers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Mercy Care, Arizona Complete Health, UHS, and Veteran services such as TriCare and TriWest.

Yes, family involvement is an important part of the recovery process. After an initial stabilization period, residents may have family visitation during designated hours. We also offer family therapy sessions, phone contact opportunities, and coordination with the resident's broader support team. Our staff will discuss specific visitation policies and schedules during the admissions process to ensure families know what to expect.

Discharge planning begins at admission. Our team works with each resident's outpatient providers, case managers, and family members to create a comprehensive aftercare plan. This may include step-down to outpatient services, connection with community support resources, ongoing medication management, and follow-up appointments. We coordinate with Phoenix-area outpatient behavioral health providers to ensure continuity of care and support lasting recovery.
