Richard Hall Comunity Mental Health Center Somerset County

Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center is a county operated outpatient addiction and mental health treatment center in Bridgewater, New Jersey that serves Somerset County residents from children through older adults.

It provides outpatient and intensive outpatient programs. This includes MAT and counseling with psychiatric care and case management through a single Access Center intake point.

Medical, Dental, and Addiction Treatment

Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center houses an on-site medical and dental practice that is operated by Zufall Health so a client who is in treatment for substance use or a dual disorder can see a primary care provider or dentist at the same location.

Their focus is trauma informed treatment which is designed around whole client care in one location.

This is important for clients whose physical health has deteriorated alongside their addiction or mental illness which is a population at higher risk for poor medical outcomes because coordinating separate providers is difficult.

This removes one of the most common reasons for treatment plans that fall apart.

Equine Therapy and Organized Events

Reach for Recovery is the center's dual diagnosis outpatient program which combines medication assisted treatment with elements that are rarely found in a county run setting. This includes equine assisted therapy and private sessions with a peer recovery specialist.

A 24 hour on-call service and organized sober holidays and events orient the program toward long term recovery and socialization rather than short term stabilization. Richard Hall primarily serves Somerset County residents.

They accept Medicaid and Medicare as well as TRICARE and offer sliding scale fees that are limited to county residents.
