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

Welcoming Atmosphere
Sometimes culture can be crucial for healing. The staff creates a setting where guests feel welcome and encouraged on their recovery path. The team understands that treatment can be difficult, but recovery is always possible.

It can move your attention away from anxiety and stress and help you engage with the here and now for increased inner peace and awareness. The team specializes in trauma-informed therapy to help work through past events that may have led to addiction issues.

The Living Room in Princeton, New Jersey has truly been a life-changing part of my recovery journey. Walking through those doors for the first time, I didn’t know what to expect—but what I found was a space filled with warmth, understanding, and genuine support. It’s more than a program or a facility; it feels like a community built on compassion and real connection. The staff treat you like a whole person—not a diagnosis, not a problem to fix, but someone worthy of hope and healing. They listen without judgment, they encourage without pressure, and they create an environment where you can grow at your own pace. Every conversation, every session, every small moment inside that place helped me rebuild parts of myself I thought were gone. The Living Room gave me tools, clarity, and peace, but more than that, it gave me the confidence to believe in my own recovery again. I’m truly grateful for the time I’ve spent there, and I can honestly say my life is different because of it. If anyone is struggling and looking for a safe, uplifting space, I can’t recommend The Living Room enough. It has been a blessing in my journey—and I know it can be for others too.

Vicki is one of those rare souls you meet in recovery who genuinely change the direction of your life. She was the house mom during my stay, but she showed up as so much more than that. She was caring, present, consistent, and loving in a way that made me feel safe enough to grow. Her conversations with me weren’t just “talks” they were moments that grounded me, challenged me, and reminded me of who I really am. I’m still sober today in large part because of the guidance, compassion, and honesty she gave me during some of the hardest moments of my life. She doesn’t clock in and out; she truly shows up for people. Anyone who gets the chance to be supported by Vicki is in the best possible hands. I’m endlessly grateful for her unconditional love and support

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.

This review is super long but completely necessary! My family has agreed to allow me to use their accounts to list my story so that no one else gets hurt like me, please read on the other post to get the full story. People please do your research! These mental health places do not care about anything but their bottom line! I can tell you with absolute 1billion% certainty that they did not care about my mental well-being at all! All you guys did was waste my time n delay me from getting care I needed!!! It is completely irresponsible unethical an inappropriate for them to lie to me about having a mental health program in the afternoon and then wait until after I've signed up for the program to tell me that they're just getting started with the mental health program and I'm the only one in it so they're going to have to put me in the groups for addiction and then consistently pressured me to stay knowing they could not provide me with the help that I seriously needed for my anxiety and knowing that my anxiety was at a point where it is completely overwhelming and was bordering on being detrimental to my life and destroy everything that I have worked so hard for it if I didn't take action to get help now! The ethical and moral thing to do would be to not put ur bottom line above my health and my life..knowing I was at the end of my rope slipping off of it...the ethical thing to do would have been to tell me that they cannot provide me with the specialized help that I desperately need and that I should find a place that has a well established mental health program. Josh You wanted me to provide my feedback and here it is: the groups are completely lackluster have zero Focus or structure with the exception of Tribet's groups.. I hope you all recognize that you are extremely lucky to have her she's cares about her job she has a lot of knowledge and love for the people in her groups it's always structured n her personality is beautiful and a breath of fresh air to say the least! She is so funny and somehow managed to make groups not only fun n engaging but full of mic drop insights that have really help me he most amazing n insightful things at the same time..I never seen that before and I've been trying to navigating this mental health space for years. I love you and you're doing an amazing job and you're really helping people! Back to the rest of the groups It's mostly people in Sharing Which would be okay If you guys didn't seem uninterested in helping people but..I have heard people sharing some deeply emotional and personal things such as having suicidal ideation get zero reaction from the group leader I seriously found that troubling and very shocking. The psychiatrist is very kind however your job is to assess people not to talk about your life this is people's Mental Health our entire conversations have always been about you and your family you literally asked me less than five questions I could tell you all about your family and your son studying abroad and your daughter-in-law and you don't know one thing about me because anytime I went to speak you would find a way to relate it to yourself and go off on these tangents that had nothing to do with helping me. It is also completely negligent and irresponsible for you to double my dosage of my heart medication and the time that I take it without Counseling me about the seriously dangerous side effects of doing that. There are no holistic therapies at all! And to top it all off when I finally said im going to find a different place that has mental health problems. You gave me horrible advice n did not care to consider the ramifications of do I ng that. You convinced me to go to one of the worst facilities that you think of complexitly lied n had none of the therapies they advertise. When I asked if you guys were affiliated with the place you once again lied n said no that you found it researching places for me. Yet the clinical director knew ur names! And when I told you what was going on you said you've only heard good things from the people that you sent there.
