Innovative Solutions. Unprecedented Results


Clinical excellence, innovation, and a relentless commitment to the most scientifically advanced health care solutions are hallmarks that distinguish UBH as the national leader in behavioral health.

UBH has been guided by these principles for more than 27 years, and is recognized as a pioneer in the development of advancements that dramatically improve the clinical impact and delivery of behavioral health services. This legacy continues today with our "total health and productivity" approach to care.

  • Increased treatment compliance
  • Reduction of unsafe and costly drug prescribing errors
  • Reduction of disability claims
