About The Living Room at Princeton

The Princeton, New Jersey, center also treats clients experiencing mental health conditions that frequently accompany substance addiction.

Welcoming Atmosphere

My experience at The Living Room at Princeton was truly meaningful, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to take advantage of the many resources and the expertise of the staff there. I went in wanting to better understand my mental health and find tools that I could carry with me not only through treatment, but into my everyday life. I left with a much deeper understanding of myself and practical tools that I can continue using in my healing journey. Sam, my individual therapist, provided me with a safe and supportive space to navigate trauma, practice self-reflection, and work through my sobriety. I always felt that I could be honest and vulnerable without judgment, which allowed me to do some important work. Tracey, was also an important part of my experience. She worked with me to develop a thoughtful medication treatment plan while remaining compassionate and supportive throughout my journey. What stood out most to me was that she genuinely listened. That can feel rare when working with providers around medication, and I truly appreciated feeling heard and understood rather than simply being prescribed something. I also had the opportunity to explore EMDR with Mark. Through our group sessions, I had already developed a sense of trust with him, which made it easier for me to feel comfortable going deeper into this work. EMDR became a profound part of my mental health journey and gave me another avenue to work through things I had been carrying. The group sessions were another part of the experience that I really valued. Hearing other members share their perspectives, experiences, and personal stories reminded me that everyone’s journey is different, while also creating a sense of connection and understanding. The staff brought different areas of expertise, personalities, and approaches to the groups, which gave me the opportunity to learn from many different perspectives. What I appreciated most about The Living Room was that I was encouraged to explore. There wasn't just one approach to healing. I was able to experience different types of therapy, learn different mental health tools, hear from others, and figure out what resonated with me. I highly recommend The Living Room at Princeton to anyone who is looking for a supportive environment where they can take the time to explore their mental health, learn more about themselves, and work toward healing. I’m very grateful for the people and experiences that became part of my journey there.

Thanks, Kim, for such a thoughtful reflection on your healing at TLR! The team is our greatest offering, so we take your appreciation of both the individual care providers and collective staff to heart. We're so glad you found understanding, trust, and, above all, a place to explore—as we like to say, *un*covering perhaps more than recovering—at TLR. Another sincere thank you for taking the time to put your experience with us in writing!

I truly can not even put into words how grateful I am for The Living Room. I started my journey of sobriety over two years ago and am still sober to this day thanks to them. Not only did I complete an addiction program here, but was also welcomed back with open arms when I told Henry that I needed a little help with my mental health as well. The sheer amount of helpful knowledge, coping tools, and all around life skills that I gained here is a huge reason I am the person I am today. The owner (Doc) is a genuinely amazing person who cares about each and every client that comes in the door, and I remember being blown away just listening to him speak when I first got there. I could probably write a whole paper on this place but will keep it short for google. From the bottom of my heart I would recommend this place for the people who I care about most. I can genuinely say that this place changed the trajectory of my life in the best way possible.

Thanks for the review and recommendation, Ryan! Your confidence in our programs—choosing us twice for yourself, and regarding us as would-choose for your loves ones, should they ever be seeking their own respite—is beyond gratifying to hear. It's been incredible to share in celebrating your milestones (congratulations again on two years and on every day on either side!) and to have you at alumni events—see you at the next one!

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

The Living Room at Princeton works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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

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 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).

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 iconMental Health And Substance Abuse
opium iconOpioid 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 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.

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 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 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 iconEye 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.

I wish I could give negative stars. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE I care about. To start, August Leming is a fraud of a doctor and an even worse “owner.” In my experience, he routinely commented on female patients’ weight and appearance and seemed to make a point of scheduling individual sessions with patients he found “attractive”. He would parade around the office with his much younger girlfriend, creating an uncomfortable environment for everyone around them, staff and patients included. Meanwhile, he was dismissive, egotistical, and largely unavailable to patients who didn’t seem to interest him. This is the OWNER of the facility. During my intake, he spent more time discussing his own physical transformation than my recovery or treatment plan, as if his weight-loss story was supposed to convince me to hand over thousands of dollars. The impression I got was that money and insurance reimbursement mattered far more than whether patients were actually getting better. And then there’s co-owner John. My experience with him was just as unprofessional. It felt like my treatment plan was intentionally kept from me, communication was inconsistent, and decisions about my care were made without being transparent with me. The entire place felt like a business disguised as a recovery center. Staff played favorites, patients were treated like problems waiting to happen, and the supposed “laid-back” atmosphere was anything but. At one point, I got a bloody nose during the winter and was sent to urgent care at my own expense for a drug test because staff suspected I was snorting cocaine. I was not. This was just one example of how accusatory and distrustful the program felt. I left feeling more isolated and hopeless than I had ever felt before entering the program. I reached a point where I felt like there was no purpose to recovery, and that was essentially dismissed. The “living room” facade is pretty funny considering how much tension, favoritism, and dysfunction exists behind it. I would not trust August Lemming, John, Terbett, or The Living Room with anyone’s recovery.

At first, I thought it was the best facility ever.. believe me when I say they do not personally care about your well-being. They are money hungry!! I was struggling and had a few relapses and battling severely with my mental health, they just suddenly discharged me via text message after I waited the entire day for a phone call, which I was promised. I reached out several times after that text message with no responses at all just left me in the dark. Which in return messed up my mental health and caused me to go down in a deeper hole because I felt unheard and neglected and very alone I had so much trust in them and they betrayed me big time. Do your research for people please. This is your life you’re dealing with. I have been to a facilities since then who go above and beyond and genuinely care for each, and every individual that walks through the door and it really shows actions speak louder than words.
