Behavioral Health Services
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset’s Behavioral Health Services in Somerville provide comprehensive treatment for individuals aged 18 and older with all types of mental health conditions. Following a psychological assessment or a crisis evaluation, you will receive an individualized treatment plan and we will determine the most appropriate level of care for you.

We offer four levels of care:

Inpatient Treatment
24-hour care in a secure hospital setting for patients in acute stages of psychiatric illness. Aspects of this program include diagnostic evaluation, crisis stabilization, and intensive treatment, with the goal of transfer to a lower level of care as soon as clinically appropriate

Partial Hospitalization Care
Offers comprehensive psychiatric therapy services on a graduated outpatient basis. Patients attend four hours of programming per day, five days per week. Patients will build upon skills learned in inpatient treatment. With the support of a treatment team, patients will work to understand their illness, build on existing strengths, and develop new coping skills.

Intensive Outpatient Care
Patients participate in individual and group therapy on an outpatient basis two hours per day for a minimum of three days per week. The program focuses on increased independence as patients prepare for full reintegration into their daily lives and transition from the program to their outpatient team.

Traditional Outpatient Services
Offered in conjunction with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital’s Somerset’s Babs Siperstein PROUD Center, which provides primary medical care for members of the LGBTQIA community.

Eating Disorders Program
Our Behavioral Health Services also include a nationally recognized Eating Disorders Program, which is one of only two programs in New Jersey with a dedicated inpatient unit providing comprehensive treatment for individuals age 14 and older who suffer from all types of eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia. In addition to inpatient care, we offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services as well as weekly support groups for patients and their families.
