I cannot begin to explain how helpful The Living Room was to me during my time there. There are specific people that brought me back to life and continued to help with my recovery everyday. The process there is beautiful, being in the sunroom and mudroom allowed a great deal of thinking and connection. Mediation was something I thought was not needed, after being there, it changed my life. It is now a huge part of my recovery. Without the kindness and love in there at The Living Room, I would not be where I am today with such willpower. It was truly a wonderful experience. Clayton was SUPERIOR in every aspect of assisting me on this journey. I have never encountered a tech so helpful, so organized, and so kind in my life. Without Clayton, I don’t think I would be where I am with my time spent at A Friend’s Place sober house. He was always available, present, and had great words of wisdom that I carry with me everyday. He instilled willpower in me and ran great groups with such passion. He truly is meant for this field and I am thankful I got to witness it. Terbett changed my life with family and personal therapy. I would not be where I am with my family without her work. I have truly never been with a better therapist than Terbett. The groups she runs are phenomenal and every session helps heal. She is a wonderful serving woman that is a huge asset to The Living Room. Justina was a big help with case management and a warm embrace when I came in the door. I felt so comfortable being there and she helped me anytime I needed. Kristen! The BEST administrator I have ever met! Each day walking in the door, Kristen brought positivity and light to each of us. She is very kind and helpful, such a light at The Living Room. Barb is hands down the best nurse practitioner I have ever encountered! She thoroughly asks questions and actually cares about each patient. Thank you for all of your hard work and consideration! I miss everyone dearly, but am thankful to be where I am today with the assistance of The Living Room. Thank you!!!

Words could not express how eternally grateful I am to have found The Living Room. The holistic approach to recovery really makes TLR unique. As someone who was previously uncompromising in her refusal to adopt spirituality and the concept of a "higher power" that is so frequently repeated among recovery networks, my views have been transformed by the wisdom that Dr Leming has to share. TLR has lived up to its motto "All parts welcome", and through meditation, I have gotten to know and understand parts of myself which I had previously rejected and dismissed. Rather than focusing on the addiction as one would in traditional medical approaches, the emphasis is on the person as a whole and the parts that we are comprised of. The carefully hand-picked staff all have so much character and spunk, and there is never a dull moment during group sessions, from the wild humor that has me laughing until tears form, to the profound wisdom and guidance imparted by group facilitators who have similarly struggled with addiction. Despite the different walks of life that the patients come from, the dynamic is very much that of a family, and the staff are committed to fostering and encouraging supportive relationships among patients that further contribute to sobriety. From the moment I stepped into TLR, I was treated as an individual, and I was welcomed with a warmth that assured me that I would be in good hands. I was able to fully focus on my treatment and recovery, thanks to the staff's generosity and commitment to help me with other troubles in my life, from the life-saving to the mundane (playing barista whenever I wanted coffee during group!) Even on an aesthetic level, TLR manages to outclass with stunning visuals. The decor of the sun and mud rooms beautifully set the atmosphere for group sessions, from the cheery, spirited energy of the sun room, to the introspective, meditative aura that washes over you as you step through the doors of the mud room. TLR will always have my heartfelt thanks, and to anyone struggling with addiction, this place will be my one and only recommendation.

Stephanie! You are a warrior, and the entire team and our membership benefitted from knowing you. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and perhaps the sweetest of them all from just SITTING. Perhaps we learned together than Chogyam was right when he said, "Just don't do something. Sit there." Keep in touch. We are always here for you and with you.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Intensive Outpatient

Clients who are exiting inpatient rehab, those who are experiencing crisis, and those who prefer to live at home while in treatment typically enroll in intensive inpatient programs (IOP). These programs feature frequent and robust care, generally requiring clients to participate in at least nine hours of care weekly, though many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 treatment hours per week. IOP services typically combine individual, group, and family counseling with recovery education and holistic therapies.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs enable clients to receive a full continuum of care while continuing to live at home. They're often ideal for clients who are stepping down from inpatient care but some clients may prefer to transition into outpatient treatment immediately after completing detox. Many outpatient facilities also offer ambulatory medical detox for low-risk clients. Outpatient treatment generally includes psychotherapy and life skills training. Clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs engage in a rigorous process of personal growth as a cornerstone of long-term recovery. They are expected to attend anonymous, peer-led 12 step meetings, which are free, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not required. Self-selected peer sponsors mentor participants as they work through the 12 steps, learning forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and accountability.

Treatments

Alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) is diagnosed when a person's drinking causes harm or distress and they continue to drink anyway. Often, they have a physical as well as psychological dependence on the substance. To treat alcohol addiction, medical detox is often necessary to safely withdraw from alcohol. Once this is complete, alcohol rehab in New Jersey can provide skills and supports necessary for long-term recovery.

Drug rehab in New Jersey is the process of addressing the complex issues involved with addiction. Challenges are identified and addressed through individual and group counseling. Participants learn how to manage these issues without the use of substances.

Mental Health And Substance Abuse

Opioid Addiction

You can find comprehensive substance abuse treatment in New Jersey in drug and alcohol rehabs. These treatment programs typically provide a full continuum of care including medically assisted detox, inpatient, outpatient, dual-diagnosis, and intensive outpatient. With a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation, addiction experts provide individualized treatment plans to meet your specific needs. These programs address substance use disorders using evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), individual and family counseling, and recovery support groups.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Family therapy sessions address addiction related conflicts and other issues between members of the family unit. By strengthening communication and coping skills, as well as creating a nurturing environment, the family can help support their loved one's recovery.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New Jersey typically follows a set structure of treatment. The therapist helps clients identify their life challenges and their thoughts surrounding those challenges. The client then learns to identify unhealthy thought patterns and reshape those into healthy patterns of thinking and behavior.

Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Motivational interviewing helps clients find their motivation to change. It can be an effective method to work with clients who are angry or hostile or feel insecure about their ability to make changes in their lives. It is often used during addiction treatment or to manage physical health conditions.

Dialectical means opposing. The premise of dialectical behavior therapy is to learn how two things that seem to be opposite can actually be true. You learn how to accept yourself while also making changes. The focus is on accepting your emotions and changing how you manage them.

Group therapy settings offer you a diverse perspective on addiction and recovery. People from a variety of backgrounds gather together to discuss their challenges and speak openly and in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. This enriches your experience and your understanding of addiction and recovery.

We can’t thank the Living Room staff enough for helping our son, and working with us, over the past few months. Our son says the environment is caring and open—he feels accepted for who he is—high praise for a 17-yo boy. As soon as you walk in the doors you are welcomed into a calm and inviting space. The staff is caring and responsive and because of that we have seen amazing personal growth in our son in the time he has been there. We are so appreciative of the support we are provided as parents so we can walk the recovery journey with our son. Thank you to everyone at Living Room.

Martha, thank you from the bottom of our broken hearts for the trust you extended in bringing your boy to TLR. He invited us all to a higher level of what it means to be human. He's a gift to all who know him. Continue to walk with him, and on occasion look over your shoulder. We will be there, walking with you.

This place has saved my life. I’ve been in multiple treatment centers before and it’s the same old thing at all of them. The living room has taken a different approach to recovery that has really helped me. I understand my spirituality much better, the therapists are all amazing, With the tools that I am being taught, I am learning to become confident and I’m getting to know myself more and more everyday. I can now say that I have found happiness in sobriety which I have never felt before.

Simply stated, we miss you. You are a glowing example of the beauty that is born from the suffering we share as humans. Learning to love yourself, and helping us to do the same for ourselves, is your legacy at TLR. Thank you, not just for your kind words, but for what you gave US. Stay close. We are always here for you and with you.

Vicki Mitchell

This place is by far the best ever there’s not enough stars that I could possibly give after the death of my 24yr old son I no longer wanted to live myself I fell down in such a deep dark depression and I felt as if it was no way out however after being admitted to The Living Room it was there where I actually learned how to start loving myself again I was taught by Dr August Leming effectively embrace my anxiety tru doing “parts work” and just allow the feelings not to mention the therapeutic relapse prevention & CBT sessions that were developed with my primary therapist “Lindsey” after being in such a dark & unstructured environment for so long I could barely even make a doctors appointment for myself to which brings me to my next point is that “Clayton” heading their outstanding case management team never left a stone unturned and made sure that all of my needs were met even “Barb” the nurse practitioner I’m talking the entire clinical team & all the staff even from Jimmy In transportation “Hank/Henry” running group..I’ve heard people say “learn to love you until you’re able to love yourself” well at The Living Room not only did you guys show me how to love myself each and everyone of you took the time to teach me as well and for that I am forever grateful Love Always Vicki M❤️🙏🏽❤️

Vicki we are family. Now and forever. You are a vessel for the love that makes being human worth all the difficulties. Your loss and suffering made your soil rich, and your beauty and wisdom are born of that same soil. Keep going. Keep sitting. And keep asking the single most important question, "How can I love THIS more?" Stay close. We are always here for you and with you.

Harold Rodriguez

Amazing place I have been attending since May 4, 2024, and will still continue to attend, and as long as my insurance covers me, I will continue going. This place has helped me find a new meaning in my life, accepting every part of it, and that I could find the beauty in life again. I look forward to every day that I go to either groups or my 1:1 session with my primary therapist. Every experience I have had at TLR has taught me something new and how to see things in a different way. For someone who dealt with anger his whole life, I’m still learning how to deal with it, but with the help from everyone in the leaving room, it has been so much easier, and I live every day in the moment because before you know it, that moment has passed you by. I have nothing but gratitude and love for this place and everyone in it. I encourage anyone thinking of joining the program to just do it because it is worth it. You are worth it!

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We are thrilled to hear how much The Living Room at Princeton has positively impacted your life. It's wonderful to know that you've found new meaning and beauty in life, and we're glad to be a part of your journey. Your words about our program and team mean a lot to us, and we hope to continue supporting you in every step. Thank you for encouraging others to join – your recommendation is truly appreciated!

Eric Estepp

The Living Rooms gave me a different view of treatment. The approach is genuine and caring. The environment is safe, warm, and inviting. I would recommend The Living Rooms to anyone I know that is struggling. I have! I am deeply grateful for Doc and everyone at The Living Rooms for presenting me with the opportunity to grow and change on my terms, but with the right recipe of encouragement. If you get a chance to sit one on one with Doc, take it. You will be better off for it. Trust me. His wisdom, compassion, and grace is priceless. Doc is a man that I will forever hold gratitude for. Thank you. Terbett... Someone who talks the talk and walks the walk. Her passion and love for people and the drive to continue service is not only special but truly heart felt. She's a real one. John, Clayton, Henry, Iris, Elizabeth, Joe, and everyone else, Thank you. You all do an amazing job. Keep up the good work. You'll all hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for everything.

Eric! Your kind words mean the world to us here at TLR. Your energy, commitment and most importantly, your heart, left an indelible mark on all of us. You will will always be with us. You are always welcome. Keep breathing brother, you already have everything you need.

This place is amazing and unlike any other treatment center I know of. They have a great team on staff that will invest in your recovery and make you feel at home from the moment you walk in the door. While the outside of the building isn’t much to look at, they went all out to create a space that is beautiful, comfortable, and meaningful. One of the things that is different about this place is that their focus isn’t so much the addiction (though they do address it!), but the whole person. Through meditation, I was able to get in touch with parts of myself that I spent years running and hiding from. I was able to develop a spiritual component to my recovery that never really existed in other programs beyond “finding a higher power”. Dr. Lemming and his team won’t work miracles, but they will help you to realize you can work them for yourself. Give this place a try. It may save your life!

Jonathan you were and continue to be a blessing to the TLR family. We look forward to witnessing the courage and compassion you bring to the world as you trudge the road of happy destiny. Keep us close, and we will do the same for you. Thank you for your kindness and commitment.

Kevin Middleton

The staff is understanding, loving, and know how to make a difficult situation not seem so difficult.

Thank you Kevin for your support and for taking the time to share your feelings about the TLR experience. As a team, we understand the meaning and value of personal exploration. As we learn to love every part of our SELVES, we learn to love every part of OTHERS. Godspeed brother.

Christine Rosie

I actually can’t put words into the Gratitude and how Grateful I am for The Living Room . There is so much wisdom , care and compassion from the staff and Doc most definitely. They truly care about you and your well being . The Living Room is not like any other PHP/IOP it is like a retreat it is very warm and welcoming The Living Room @ Princeton is very unique. Every client at the Living Room participates, listens, and wants to learn and engages . Doc’s approach to therapy is different from other places I’ve ever been too . I not only suffer from alcoholism I suffer from Grief and Loss from the loss of my son Nicholas who I lost at the age of 21 to a fetanyl overdose , The Living Room has shown me not to Blame/Shame and it’s not my “Fault “ and I’ve come to a better understanding of acceptance through this process with them . I’ve had a great experience with all the staff at The Living Room especially Clayton he is so full of energy and always has a smile on his face and has a great personality and always goes above and beyond to make sure clients needs are being met . First entering the Living Room meeting Kristen is a great experience as well the most amazing kind, beautiful soul who brings such joy to the facility and makes your entrance so warm and very welcoming and a amazing experience with a beautiful smile and the best personality. Thanks to James as well for all your hard work that you do at TLR , you as well make sure clients needs are met and do the best to make sure we are ok and for that I myself am grateful for all you have done for me in my journey . Hands down to Dr August Lemming for creator of the Living Room and his amazing staff. I would recommend the Living Room as I do to numerous people whose path I cross that are struggling with addiction . Thank you Dr. Lemming and the Staff at TLR ❤️

Christine! There are no words to express our gratitude for ALL that you are. The light you carry is bright. The wisdom you hold strong. We sincerely look forward to watching it all unfold as you move through the world, leaving a trail of smiles behind you. Stay close. You're always welcome.
