Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care serves children, teens, and adults dealing with mental health and substance use concerns in person or virtually. Their partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) provide structured, daytime group treatment while allowing participants to return home each evening. Their residential program serves clients in a more intensive space for additional safety and support in early recovery.

In Piscataway, their main location is on Hoes Lane and they have a supporting campus nearby on Centennial Avenue.

Connecting Participants to Housing and Jobs

Clients in the program receive both clinical care and practical support. Services include psychiatric evaluation, medication guidance, and therapy in group and individual formats.

Alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, participants engage in art, music, and horticulture therapies that encourage expression and healing. Their staff are highly trained and committed to helping each individual set and reach goals. Their philosophy centers on accessible, compassionate care that restores meaningful roles and lasting well-being.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Mental health care includes a range of services such as counseling, therapy, medication management, and support groups, all designed to address issues from everyday stress and anxiety to more severe conditions like depression and schizophrenia. These practices are essential for helping individuals manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and navigate life's challenges in healthier, more adaptive ways.
Residential
Intensive monitoring and care for conditions like depression, trauma, suicidality, and anxiety. Residential mental health facilities offer a safe setting with activities and structure, plus opportunities to practice life skills and bond with peers.
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Licensed primary mental health facilities provide specialized care for diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. By offering early intervention and comprehensive services, they promote overall well-being and prevent long-term complications.
Co-Occurring Substance Use
Substance use disorders often occur alongside primary mental health conditions. Programs for co-occurring substance use disorders focus on both conditions, tailoring treatment for comprehensive recovery.
