PROGRAMS

Convenient Evening Intensive Outpatient Programs: for adults

at several sites, where the service treats psychiatric problems,

addictions, and co-occurring disorders to help adults regain

stability from acute illnesses while having the opportunity to

continue their usual daily activities.

Programs for Women: Women's Trauma, Women's Trauma and

Addiction, and Women's Wellness Program on the main

campus. PHBH women's programs are unique in the Princeton

area. They offer support for recovery customized to the needs

and concerns of women at both partial hospital and IOP levels of care.

Retreat at Princeton: designed to meet the needs of chemically

dependent adults who otherwise would be functioning well in

their daily lives. Focused on helping these patients address their

substance abuse problems and related core issues, the Retreat

is a 14-bed inpatient treatment program on the main campus

of Princeton House Behavioral Health. The program offers

flexible, sophisticated and personalized treatment.


Inpatient Adolescent Substance Abuse Program: treats

adolescents with substance abuse, as well as those with a

primary substance abuse diagnosis who also have some co-

occurring disorders. The program utilizes current evidence-

based techniques integrated with traditional 12-step and

recovery-based programming. Medically supervised

detoxification and 24-hour nursing coverage are provided.

Adolescent Day Treatment Programs are available for psychiatric

and addictive illnesses at PHBH sites in Hamilton, Cherry Hill

and North Brunswick.
