About The Living Room at Princeton
The Living Room at Princeton is a modern treatment facility rooted in the oldest of traditions. From their unique facility, they invite adults and adolescents to participate in day treatment and intensive outpatient programs where they will discover the beauty born of their struggles with addiction and mental health.
Refine Struggles into Strength
The gifted professionals at The Living Room welcome all of who a client is, most especially the parts that brought them to treatment. They do not see the client’s struggles as a failing or misfortune, but as the mud from which the lotus is born. The team individually and collectively are dedicated to living the journey of self-exploration, acceptance, and celebration that they invite clients to explore.
Transform through Comprehensive Care
The recovery journey at The Living Room includes a range of evidence-based methods combined with wisdom traditions to address both addiction and underlying mental health disorders. Clients receive up to 3 individual therapy sessions per week to explore their unique challenges, goals, and recovery paths. Clients learn to recognize and challenge dysfunctional thought patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and manage overwhelming emotions with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Group therapy fosters a sense of community and develops crucial social skills under expert guidance. Trauma-informed approaches like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) provide a safe space for processing trauma and regaining control. Mindful breathing and meditation enhance present-moment awareness and promote mental and emotional well-being.
Find Refuge in a Space Designed for Lasting Change
