About Atlanticare Behavioral Health
AtlantiCare Behavioral Health (ABH) operates out of 120 South White Horse Pike in Hammonton, New Jersey, serving Atlantic County as southeastern New Jersey’s largest provider of mental health and substance use treatment services. The facility offers structured clinical care for adults navigating addiction and co-occurring psychiatric conditions, with Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation signaling a verified standard of care across its programs.
The center’s levels of care include medical detox, a standard outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Medical detox positions ABH as a starting point for individuals requiring supervised withdrawal management before stepping into ongoing outpatient treatment. The IOP provides a more structured schedule for those who need frequent clinical contact without full residential placement, while the general outpatient program supports those transitioning into lower-intensity care.
Clinical treatment at ABH incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a widely used therapeutic method for addressing the thought patterns and behaviors associated with substance use and mental health disorders. The facility also treats trauma and PTSD alongside substance use, reflecting a dual diagnosis approach for individuals whose addiction intersects with underlying psychiatric conditions. This capacity to address co-occurring disorders within a single system of care is a meaningful distinction for patients with complex clinical needs.
AtlantiCare Behavioral Health specifically serves women, pregnant women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing — populations that often face barriers to accessing appropriate substance use treatment. Payment options are broad, covering Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay, reducing financial obstacles for individuals seeking detox or outpatient care. The facility is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
