As the largest provider of behavioral health services in South Jersey, our multidisciplinary treatment teams works to provide state-of-the-art psychiatric treatment, group psychotherapy and social services. Jefferson Behavioral Health provides care in inpatient,  intensive outpatient, outpatient and partial hospitalization groups.

Child & Adolescent Services

At Jefferson, we work hard with parents, community mental health providers and local school districts to offer safe, respectful and nurturing environments that provide our young patients the ability to develop the coping skills needed to allow for a safe return to their homes and schools. Our child and adolescent services provide a full continuum of care for young patients who can be assessed at Jefferson Behavioral Health's ACCESS Center in Cherry Hill or Wash. Twp, or through one of the screening centers in Camden, Burlington or Gloucester counties. For your convenience, we have outpatient services located in Washington Township and Cherry Hill. Transportation may be provided when available.

Inpatient Psychiatric Services
CAPU is our 14-bed acute inpatient unit. It offers 24-hour nursing supervision as well as psychiatric evaluation, medication evaluation, group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, psycho-educational groups, in-house school services and medication monitoring. Patients requiring additional support are offered linkage with a variety of community services based on individual needs.

Outpatient Partial Hospitalization Program
This program helps children and adolescents faced with the challenges of mental health and substance abuse issues as they continue living in their home environments. Patients are required to continue to meet their baseline educational requirements as their presenting issues are addressed. Our experienced outpatient treatment team fosters an environment that promotes safe and effective alternative coping skills to prepare the child or adolescent to return to his or her community and school. Patients are also offered individual therapy and medication monitoring. This service is only at the Cherry Hill location.

Intensive Outpatient Program & After School Program
In addition to the partial hospital program, Jefferson Behavioral Health provides an intensive outpatient program that operates concurrently with the partial hospitalization program Monday thru Friday during the day. Additionally, we offer an after-school intensive outpatient program in the evening that continues to support the patient as he or she returns to school. This program offers psycho-educational and therapeutic groups.

New Daytime Adult Substance Abuse Outpatient Program Offered

Jefferson Behavioral Health at Washington Township now offers a Daytime Adult Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (Adult SA IOP). The program uses evidence-based therapeutic intervention techniques to help reduce the emotional and physical struggles faced by those with substance issues. This resource can be helpful for parent(s)/guardian(s) struggling with substance use and are looking for a way to turn their life around in a structured environment.
