Inpatient care for mental health and substance use

When you need immediate, focused care, our psychiatric services offer short-term stabilization and treatment for mental health conditions. Daily psychiatrist visits and 24/7 medical supervision give you the structure and support you need to focus on healing. Much of your treatment happens in psychoeducational and therapy groups that help you build coping skills, share experiences, and support one another.

If you’re also managing a substance use disorder, you’ll receive specialized dual diagnosis treatment as part of your care. Treating both conditions at the same time lowers relapse risk and improves long-term recovery.

Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be difficult and sometimes dangerous without medical supervision. Our inpatient drug and alcohol recovery program provides medically monitored detox to keep you safe and supported as your body adjusts.

Care may include:

• Medically assisted treatment to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings
• Group therapy and counseling to help you begin recovery
• Comfort-focused care to reduce stress during detox

First responders often face unique challenges because of the demands of their work. Our program, focused on first responders and mental health and staffed by clinicians and peer specialists who are former first responders or veterans, offers care that understands those experiences.

For more than 10 years, the Princeton House First Responder Treatment Program team has educated law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency medical teams, 911 organizations, and military personnel on mental wellness. It was the first inpatient program in New Jersey designed specifically to meet the needs of these professionals.

We provide treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and addiction, while supporting a safe return to work. The first responder wellness program also connects you to peer support groups, including Bottles and Badges, to help you maintain progress after discharge. Many first responders step down to our partial hospital program after their initial hospitalization.
