Compassionate Care

The Brandt Behavioral Health Treatment Center and Residence will be an exceptional resource for families needing treatment for their loved ones, the first of its kind in New Jersey. It will also forge a partnership between Rutgers’ health care professionals and the communities they serve, improving mental health on a broad scale. Currently, no New Jersey facility offers treatment exclusively for adolescents and young adults, backed by an academic health leader like Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care. But alumna Marlene Brandt’s transformational $30 million gift is helping make such a facility real. Thanks to her support and the generosity of other donors, families will have access to the finest behavioral health care available—right here in New Jersey. The Brandt Behavioral Health Treatment Center and Residence is just one way that Rutgers is shaping the future of human health and helping to make the world well.

A World-Class Facility

The Brandt Behavioral Health Treatment Center and Residence will occupy two new buildings that provide residences and clinical treatment for up to 16 self-pay patients, as well as a comprehensive array of coordinated outpatient services for young people and their families. Annually, the facility will be able to serve 220 residential patients and 1,500 outpatients.

The residential component will be available for individuals who want to design, in consultation with their physician and treatment team, around-the-clock care and an array of supports not subject to typical insurance plan limitations.

The treatment center, across the residential and outpatient sites, will include administrative offices; therapy and treatment rooms appropriate for individual, group, or family formats; and observational rooms for residential and day-program patients.

Outpatient options include the full range of diagnostic services, individual and group therapy, intensive outpatient programming, and psychiatrist-delivered medication management. The program will accept the full range of private and public insurance coverages and will work with individuals who are unable to pay.

The site, on Rutgers University–New Brunswick’s George H. Cook campus, is near scenic Farrington Lake, the university’s agricultural research facility, and horse pastures.

Support the Initiative

Help provide world-class behavioral health care to young people in New Jersey and the region, regardless of their families’ income.
