<p><strong>ABOUT KENNEDY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL - BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES</strong></p> <p>Kennedy Health operates three hospitals in New Jersey, and is the primary teaching affiliate for the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine. The Cherry Hill location, located nine miles east of central Philadelphia, in west New Jersey, is <strong>a full-service hospital</strong> that includes a behavioral health department, which offers one of the only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NJ17.pdf" target="_blank">12 (3.5 percent)</a> <strong>hospital inpatient</strong> facilities in the state. <strong>Outpatient services</strong> are also available for a wide range of mental and behavioral health disorders, including problematic substance use and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">dual diagnosis</a>. The department serves individuals from kindergarten age up, though substance use services are available for adults only.</p> <p>According to <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/new-jersey/cities/cherry-hill/kennedy-memorial-hospital-cherry-hill-division" target="_blank">CiteHealth</a>, the department offers medical detox, making it one of the only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NJ17.pdf" target="_blank">11 (3.2 percent)</a> centers in the state with this service, as well as methadone and buprenorphine services. Note: one reviewer on CiteHealth indicated that the hospital did not in fact provide detox services. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>A <strong>24-hour crisis center</strong> located on the Cherry Hill campus provides evaluations, stabilization services, close observation in a secure setting, and appropriate referrals to further treatment. For individuals requiring inpatient treatment, there are two levels of care: short-term and longer-term. All clients stay on the same inpatient unit, on the Cherry Hill campus.</p> <p>In outpatient care, the center offers <strong>a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP),</strong> which include psychoeducational and psychodynamic groups. The PHP runs all day, while the IOP is offered in the daytime or the evening and lasts three and a half hours a day. On the dual diagnosis IOP and PHP, there's dedicated programming on relapse prevention.</p> <p>Children and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/is-my-child-just-experimenting/" target="_blank">adolescents</a> participating in PHPs and IOPs must still meet their educational requirements.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The behavioral health department partners with the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine's Department of Psychiatry. Programming is led by <strong>board-certified psychiatrists,</strong> and the team includes nurses; master's level clinicians; social workers; and dance, music, and art therapists. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the department five out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The inpatient psychiatric facility on the Cherry Hill campus offers <strong>35 beds for adults and 14 beds for adolescents.</strong> The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility five stars for its cleanliness and its meals, four stars for its accommodations, and three stars for its exercise and leisure offerings. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews directly from alumni of the behavioral health department to date, and secondary sites yielded just one review: a five-star rating with no accompanying commentary, left on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date would strongly recommend the behavioral health department. "I am a family member and staff was very nice and accomodating," H.W. wrote, giving the facility five stars for its family participation and four stars for its treatment effectiveness, counseling options, and treatment for co-occurring disorders. However, H.W. added that they felt treatment should be longer, and that "patients should have more time to spend outdoors and take walks."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Kennedy University Hospital accepts many insurance policies, including all Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans, plus <strong>Medicaid</strong> (accepted at <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">60.8 percent of New Jersey treatment centers</a>) and <strong>Medicare</strong> (accepted at <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">25.9 percent of centers in the state</a>).
