Merakey Newark Road

Coordinating care for adults with complex psychiatric and developmental needs, Merakey Newark Road is a community-based center offering adult behavioral health services, intellectual and developmental disabilities services, and a dual diagnosis treatment team (DDTT). They support people with serious mental illness and intellectual or developmental disabilities, addressing behavioral health symptoms, communication barriers, physical health needs, housing concerns, crises, and daily-living challenges through coordinated care.

Strengthen Care beyond Symptoms

Their dual diagnosis treatment team provides counseling, physical healthcare coordination, housing assistance, crisis intervention, case management, medication-related care, behavior planning, and guidance with everyday responsibilities. They bring psychiatric and developmental services together within one person-centered plan, helping adults strengthen safety, relationships, health engagement, practical functioning, and community participation.

Extend Support into the Community

Located along Newark Road, this center is part of Merakey, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people, families, and communities. Merakey began in Philadelphia in 1969 as The Northwest Center, later became NHS Human Services, and has grown into a multi-state provider serving 12 states across behavioral health, autism, addiction recovery, intellectual and developmental disability, education, foster care, aging, and veteran services. At this location, they support greater health, safety, stability, independence, and meaningful participation in community life.
