Behavioral Health at Somerset Campus
Life presents us with an array of challenges and stressors – and
most people, at one time or another, may need some assistance in dealing
with them. That’s when the Behavioral Health Services Department
at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset can help. Depending
on your unique needs, a variety of treatment modalities are available.
Please visit the links to the right for more information.
Treatment at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset promotes
personal growth and healthy functioning, rather than simply correcting
a problem. We provide a supportive and safe healing environment where
our skilled staff helps patients understand their illness, build on existing
strengths and develop new coping skills.
The Benefits of Hospital-Based Care
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset’s hospital-based
program provides careful assessment of an individual both psychologically
and physically. We integrate a full range of care into each patient’s
treatment as appropriate to maximize the benefit of hospitalization, and
the hospital’s diagnostic services assure accurate and swift testing.

Our Treatment Team
Our team, led by a board-certified medical director, re-evaluates each
patient daily to ensure the best course of treatment. The team includes
psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, licensed clinical social workers, adjunctive
therapists and other behavioral health staff.
Levels of Care
Inpatient Treatment:
Twenty-four 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 Program:
Daytime treatment for those significantly impaired by a psychiatric, emotional
or behavioral disorder but residence while participating in treatment
Monday through Friday. Treatment also is available for those with the
dual diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder and chemical dependency.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment:
Patients benefit from active involvement in an organized therapeutic setting
that emphasizes education, counseling and peer support. Attendees typically
participate in this half-day program three days a week.
Psychiatric Emergency Screening Services (PESS)
Services for children and adults:

24/7 Crisis Hotline: 908-526-4100
The Hope Hub
The Hope Hub offers individuals and families a calm, welcoming space where
they can receive confidential support during a behavioral health crisis
which does not require treatment in the Emergency Department. Located
in a separate building on the hospital’s campus, it is designed
to look like a living room rather than a hospital setting. Our goal is
to meet individuals and families where they are, reducing fear and helping
them move forward with clarity, support and a pathway to recovery. We
will provide connections to community resources for ongoing support.

Treatment Options
Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation to develop an individualized
care plan.
Treatment may include:
One-on-one therapy
Group therapy
Family therapy
Medication management and education
Nutrition education
Family counseling and education
Chemical dependency education
Self-help groups
Stress reduction
Critical life issues
We encourage families to become involved in the treatment process, as they
can contribute information about the patient’s life experiences.
With the patient’s permission, family will meet with therapists
to learn more about their loved one’s illness.
Discharge Planning
A carefully planned discharge is crucial to continued recovery. From the
day of admission the treatment team begins to develop a comprehensive
discharge plan to coordinate aftercare and any specialized services needed.
Patients often are referred to their original clinicians or a community
provider for ongoing support and care.
