Princeton House Behavioral Health (PHBH) is the premier provider of inpatient, partial hospital, and intensive outpatient services in central New Jersey for patients with mental health, substance abuse, or co-occurring disorders. PHBH also offers state-of-the-art Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for adults with treatment-resistant depression.

Over the past two decades, Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health has helped thousands of teenagers address behavioral health issues and recover from addictions to alcohol, drugs, and prescription medications. We offer a full array of outpatient programs that address the specific needs of adolescents ages 13 to 18 who are having trouble functioning at school, at home, or with peers.

Inpatient Programs
Princeton House Behavioral Health offers a full range of inpatient treatment services for adults who are struggling with mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or both. Specialized inpatient services for First Responders are also offered. Our inpatient services are located at our spacious Princeton campus, which sits on 10 quiet wooded acres just two miles from the heart of Princeton.

Outpatient Programs
Outpatient services include partial hospital programs and intensive outpatient programs, which feature a level of focused care that falls between inpatient and traditional outpatient treatment. Our outpatient sites are conveniently located in Princeton (for adults and women), Hamilton, Moorestown, North Brunswick, and Eatontown.

Advanced Solutions for Children
Our Children’s Program offers outpatient treatment services for children 5th grade to 8th grade with emotional and behavioral problems that interfere with functioning at school and home. The program helps children with impulse control problems, depression, and aggressive or self-destructive behavior.

Program options include

• Adolescent treatment services are geared toward teens with emotional and behavioral problems, substance abuse problems, or both.
• A co-ed Adolescent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program focused on improving the management of emotions and decreasing impulsive behaviors such as self-harm. The program includes a DBT skills group, individual therapy, skills coaching, and family education.
• Treatment for adolescent programs includes a comprehensive evaluation by a board-certified psychiatrist, evidence-based treatment, medication evaluation and management as needed, group and individual therapy, family education groups, and expressive therapies like art and yoga. Urine drug screenings and relapse prevention planning are provided for those dealing with substance abuse issues.

Through this program, we help children and adolescents to

• Improve self-control and coping ability
• Regain emotional stability
• Function in healthier ways at school and home
• Understand the concept of addiction
• Achieve and maintain abstinence from addictive substances
