Comprehensive, compassionate behavioral health services for children and adults across New Jersey's Highlands region.
Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health has been one of the country's most respected nonprofits in behavioral healthcare for over a century, and the New Jersey campus at 240 Longhouse Drive in Hewitt carries that legacy forward with programs built around real outcomes, not just good intentions. Set against the wooded landscape of Passaic County's Highlands, the facility offers a calm, structured environment that supports healing and growth for individuals with complex emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs.
The Hewitt campus serves children, adolescents, and adults who need more than what outpatient care can provide. Clinical teams here draw on evidence-based approaches, combining behavioral science with trauma-informed care to address each person's specific history, strengths, and goals. Families are treated as essential partners throughout the process, not afterthoughts.
What sets Devereux New Jersey apart is the depth of specialized expertise on staff and the organization's commitment to continuous improvement. Devereux's national research division informs local practice, meaning clients in Hewitt benefit directly from the latest advances in behavioral health science.
The programs at Devereux New Jersey address a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and developmental challenges. Residential treatment provides round-the-clock therapeutic support for individuals who need intensive, structured care in a safe setting. Educational services are woven into residential programming so that academic progress continues alongside emotional growth.
Day treatment and community-based programs extend support to individuals and families who benefit from structured services without full residential placement. Behavioral support specialists work with clients in home, school, and community settings, reinforcing skills learned in clinical sessions. Crisis stabilization, family therapy, and individualized transition planning help clients move toward greater independence at a pace that works for them.
All services are guided by individualized treatment plans developed collaboratively with clients, families, and a multidisciplinary clinical team. Whether a child is navigating an autism spectrum diagnosis or an adolescent is working through trauma, the goal is the same: building the skills and confidence to thrive.
