About The Living Room at Princeton

The Living Room at Princeton is a substance use treatment facility designed to support adults and adolescents. The Princeton, New Jersey, center also treats clients experiencing mental health conditions that frequently accompany substance addiction. They accept some health insurance plans and will help with the verification process.
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.

The proven techniques incorporate therapeutic principles that motivate guests to change. Additionally, the facility provides flexible scheduling and telehealth options for convenience. The Living Room at Princeton receives high praise from former clients with an average star rating of 4.9 stars out of five.
Traditional and Alternative Methods
The Living Room doesn’t rely on one therapeutic technique. The team blends alternative and traditional methods to help clients recover. One of the holistic methods includes mindfulness practice, which helps guests learn to be present in the current moment without any judgments.

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 outpatient program allows time for guests to visit nearby areas conducive to relaxation and recovery, such as coffee shops and community resources in the Princeton area. It is also near parks with green spaces, including Marquand Park and Princeton Battlefield State Park.

My mid-20s daughter spent roughly 30 days at TLR over the summer, having had a severe manic episode. She’s been struggling with bipolar type I and severe CPTSD for much of her life. Initially, I had cautious optimism when she entered the program, but TLR annihilated any and all credibility with me over the course of her stay. So, so much to “unpack” as they say over there, but here are the most egregiously negligent occurrences. 1. TLR was negligent in medically supervising my child during her residence there. More than once, their providers failed to refill her medications in a timely manner. There was a stretch of 3 or 4 days when TLR knowingly left her without mood stabilizers, during which another manic episode started manifesting. There were a few nights when the house techs failed to administer her anti-epileptics and the a1-blocker tamping down her CPTSD-related sleep terrors. Both my kid and I repeatedly, vociferously, through several channels and to several people, asked TLR to deal with the situation. Lots of promises and “let me check on that” and “I’ll call them now” with virtually no corrective actions. At one point I had to drive an hour round trip from the sober house to a distant pharmacy and back because TLR sent the rx’s to the wrong pharmacy AFTER LEAVING HER WITHOUT MEDS FOR DAYS! 2. TLR has absolutely zero willingness to communicate with outside providers. I asked 3 or 4 times to have TLR medical team talk to my kid’s outpatient psych, who’s been treating her for a decade. Absolutely no traction. Her doctor called and left messages. He sent emails. I called, talk to people in person, and also left emails. Zero responsiveness. 3. During her program, the NJ DHS OPIA (government body responsible for investigating problems at DHS regulated facilities) was called in to investigate a TLR employee who exploited my kid’s traumatized emotional state to manipulate (groom) bother and another resident for the purposes of his own “gratification”. My kid talked to the investigator for over an hour, recounting the full horror of what transpired. Keep in mind this occurred during TLR’s interruption of her mood stabilizers and yet they still tried to convince my kid it was just “consenting adults, no need to worry” when she was not legally able to consent and would never have done so in her right mind. WHY and HOW did TLR let this happen? Would YOU trust them? 4. TLR refuses to put anything important in writing, often bullying you or badgering you to talk on the phone or in person. Whenever a provider’s default strategy is to maximize spoliage, be suspicious. In retrospect, I should have told my kid to record every single one-on-one or non-group meeting. A male directors at TLR thought he was being oh-so-clever and de-escalatory by “joking” about my kid supposedly being promiscuous with no impulse control or self-respect. “I mean, it’s not like we’re going to rent you a room at the Motel 6”. Out of context, out of nowhere, humiliating, and made my kid’s trauma worse. He cornered my kid in his office with another female therapist, both of whom lied when I asked point blank what he said to my daughter. All this and much, much more awfulness. For the incredulous, I have receipts for all these facts. So please don’t try to burnish your burning brand with a bad faith removal of the truth.

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.

When I was discharged from rehab almost a year ago, I was lucky enough to be transferred to The Living Room to continue my recovery process. As a first-timer in treatment, this establishment has completely changed my outlook on life. For starters, the people are out of this world. Sure this is their job, but they genuinely CARE. They care for each individual person, their families, their experiences, their short and long term struggles. TLR team is filled with deeply passionate, understanding, relatable and authentic people. I feel truly heard and understood by any person I interact with. They pour their heart and soul into their work. I don't consider this something I "have" to do. It's like going to see my family. The love, respect and honest accountability that is fostered between these walls is nothing short of magic. I could write for days about my experience and journey at The Living Room, but I am living proof of their dedication. I recommend anyone who is on their path to recovery to check this place out. They make space for any and every circumstance. Truly some of the greatest group of people I've had the pleasure of knowing.
