About Rutgers UBHC at New Brunswick

Rutgers UBHC at New Brunswick in New Brunswick, New Jersey, offers a wide range of outpatient mental health and substance use treatment options. These include specialty programs for Middlesex County inmates, opioid users and at risk youth. They accept payment through Medicaid, Medicare, Horizon Blue Cross and Aetna. They also offer self pay options.

Specialized Treatment for Co-occurring Disorders and Opioid Use Disorders

One of the specialty programs at Rutgers UBHC is the Specialized Addiction Treatment Program (SATS). It’s tailored for those who have a co-occurring mental health disorder alongside a substance use disorder. This program provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) and outpatient detox services along with traditional outpatient treatment.

Another program that caught my eye was Mobile Outreach for Recovery and Education (MORE). This program targets adults who live in Middlesex County who have an opioid use disorder but aren’t in treatment yet. They provide peer recovery, basic nursing services and case management to link clients with housing, benefits and treatment options.

School Based Programs for Youth

I was impressed with how Rutgers UBHC partners with so many schools in the area to help address youth mental health and risky behavior. They can provide counseling, educational groups, crisis support and substance use prevention programs. The UBHC can also run after-school programs and provide counseling to those in suspension from school.

The organization helps schools see higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates, lower instances of disciplinary problems and better academic performance. Youth gain access to peer support, mentoring and other activities that help them grow into productive adults. It’s a great win-win for everyone involved.
