Behavioral Health Services

RWJBarnabas Health's Behavioral Health services, in partnership with Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care, offer the most comprehensive mental health services in the state, serving children, adolescents, adults and seniors.

Our evidence-based behavioral health programs provide services that not only help patients address the challenges they currently face, but also help them thrive and maintain good health. Whether through acute care inpatient programs or individually structured outpatient services, the patient’s needs must be fully evaluated and addressed for progress and recovery to be realized.
