Support in Virtua Primary Care Practices

Virtua Behavioral Health offers mental and behavioral health services in 13 Virtua Primary Care offices throughout South Jersey. To help meet patients' mental and emotional health needs, our primary care physicians refer their patients to licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who work within the practice. These licensed professionals provide a range of psychotherapy services, including cognitive behavioral therapy and marital counseling, and treat conditions including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, mood disorders, and substance abuse.

Support for Postpartum Depression

The birth of a child is a life-changing event, typically filled with excitement and joy. For some women, the weeks and months after childbirth can be filled with feelings of sadness, indifference, and anxiety, as well as changes in energy, sleep, and appetite. While changing emotions are not uncommon after childbirth, these may be signs of postpartum depression.

Treating Substance Use Disorders

The Virtua Medication for Addiction Treatment program, located in Voorhees, offers a combination of therapies on an outpatient basis to help individuals overcome a variety of substance use disorders, including opioids and alcohol.

Following a medical evaluation, we can prescribe FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone® and Vivitrol®, which have been shown to be effective in the aid of people in recovery. In addition to medication management, our program provides available psychotherapy (including substance abuse counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy) and help coordinating other needed services, including medical appointments and social service support.
