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

The living room has been made in a way to create true love from and for yourself. Most places tend to just do their job and hands off on the rest. These people will find ways to show that they are caring and take an extra mile. Thank you and much love

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 place is a joke. They never follow through with anything they say, and they constantly break promises. They claim to care about you, but in my experience, they do not. I felt manipulated and led on by being told things I wanted to hear so that I would stay longer. It seemed like keeping me there and collecting more insurance money was more important than my well-being. Throughout my time there, I felt disrespected and did not believe they had my best interests in mind. They also discharged me without getting my medications properly adjusted. I was there for eight months, and I felt worse when I left than when I started. There are much better treatment options out there. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place. This place does more harm than good. They didn’t help my mental health and recovery at all. Coming here makes you want to drink and do drugs. Stay away if you know what’s good for you.

All the stories you hear about Nursing facilities made us apprehensive of putting our loved one in any of them. That is until we met Stacy the Admissions Director and Margaret the Unit Manager from the rehab floor. The both of them together alleviated all out fears along with this beautiful and clean facility, we had a private room our own shower which was a plus. The staff was warm and welcoming. If your loved one needs rehab Harmony Suites is the place!

What happened to that place it used to be a good place to detox but know it’s understaffed and nobody cares what you are doing can’t let the inmates run the asylum

Response from the owner
Greetings, Joseph. We do not and have never offered detox services at our facility. Perhaps you are confusing us with a near by facility. If you find that you have left this review in error, we ask that you kindly remove it. Thank you.

If You’re Searching for a Mental Health Program, This Is Not the Place for You!! I want to start by saying that both the intake process and orientation at The Living Room at Princeton were extremely professional. The intake coordinator was kind, attentive, and welcoming. The facility itself is absolutely beautiful, modern, calming, and intentionally designed. Throughout the program, it is repeatedly mentioned that a Disney Imagineer designed the space, and visually, it shows. The environment is aesthetically impressive, and the staff overall appeared friendly and approachable. However, if you are seeking serious mental health support, especially for trauma, mood disorders, emotional regulation, or structured psychiatric care, this was not the right place for me. I entered this program specifically looking for mental health support. I struggle with significant mental health challenges, and I arrived hoping for structure, grounding, and professionally facilitated group therapy. Unfortunately, my experience inside the actual groups was deeply disappointing. The first group I attended was run by what appeared to be a very inexperienced facilitator/social worker. The room quickly became dominated by two participants who continuously redirected the conversation away from the actual topic. Instead of guiding the discussion or creating balance within the group, the facilitator allowed those individuals to take over the entire session. By the end of the first day, I left feeling more stressed, overwhelmed, and emotionally dysregulated than when I arrived. I almost did not return. On Friday, the doctor who owns the practice gave a talk that was grounding, thoughtful, and reassuring. It honestly made me reconsider and give the program another chance. His presence brought a level of professionalism and emotional understanding that I had not experienced in the groups themselves. Unfortunately, the final group session confirmed my concerns. That session was led by another facilitator who seemed to have somewhat better direction of the room. However, he insisted on conducting a grounding meditation while extremely loud conversations were happening directly on the other side of the wall. The noise included yelling, profanity, and ongoing disruptions. The facilitator left the room twice to ask the neighboring group to lower the volume, but despite the environment remaining chaotic, he still continued with the meditation exercise. It felt impossible to focus, regulate, or participate meaningfully in what was supposed to be a calming mental health exercise. At the end of the session, when we were asked how we felt, I answered honestly: frustrated. For a program presenting itself as a mental health support environment, I found the lack of structure, therapeutic control, and professional group management extremely concerning. I also want to clarify something important for others researching treatment options: The Living Room at Princeton is not Princeton House. When searching online for Princeton House, The Living Room often appears prominently in Google results, which can be confusing. That is what happened to me. I initially believed there was a stronger connection between the two programs. Princeton House is an established mental health treatment provider with a longstanding reputation, particularly in trauma and women’s mental health services. The Living Room is a separate program and should not be confused with Princeton House behavioral health treatment. Regarding The Living Room, in my personal experience, mental health treatment does not seem to be this program’s strongest area, especially since their mental health programming is fairly new. I truly wanted this experience to work. The concept and physical environment have potential. But the actual execution of the therapeutic groups left me disappointed enough that I chose not to continue after only two days. P.S.: Mental health groups don't get to see the nicer rooms you’re stuck in for 3 hours in the DOC’s office.
