Behavioral Health & Social Services

At Henry J. Austin Health Center, our medical providers have behavioral health team members dedicated to their patients to help them feel healthy no matter their age or circumstance. As part of the care you receive, you will be asked questions about sadness, worries, sleep, alcohol and drug use and trauma. These are examples of some issues that may impact your health and well-being.

The Behavioral Health team can also help with other hurdles that may make it difficult to be healthy. They are able to help identify social service needs and make the best referral for you. Those needs may include access to transportation, paying for medicine, food pantries, and much more.

Patients facing drug and/or alcohol problems have access to a specialty team. A member of the team will meet with you individually so the both of you can figure out the best way to help you.

The Behavioral Health Department provides the following services:

  • Adult Behavioral Health
  • Children and Adolescent Behavioral Health
  • Social Services for all patients
  • Addiction services for adults including Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone and Vivitrol

We now have a direct line if you need assistance with your addiction medications (Suboxone, Vivitrol), have issues with alcohol or any other problem. Please give us a call directly and we will help you, 609- 278-6361.
