At Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care (UBHC), we offer the broadest range of services in New Jersey and we are the only behavioral health system that is part of a medical school, so our staff are trained in the most effective, most current treatments. In fact, some of those treatments have been developed right here at UBHC.
Not only does UBHC provide clinical care and develop new treatments, we also train professionals across the country in the best ways to support people through those difficult times.
We have many special programs for all age groups and types of problems. Whether your child is struggling in school or your parent is getting forgetful, we can help. If you are an active or former military service member, a teacher, the mother of a special needs child, or know someone with a substance abuse problem, UBHC has services to assist.
We have offices located in Edison, Monmouth Junction, New Brunswick, and Newark. We are a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC). As a CCBHC, we provide comprehensive and integrated care, with an emphasis on coordination and linkage to medical and community resources.
