I have nothing but great things to say about this place. They treated me with the utmost respect and dignity when I needed it most when my spirit was broken. I can't thank the Staff enough as they are as professional as they come from the intake personnel to the techs, staff, nurses, doctors, cleaning crew and cooks all are professional and very caring and respectful. Thank You.

Mike S.

lamont C.
Absolutely fantastic, in everyway. Great facility, phenomenal staff, counselors, techs, nursing, all incredibly helpful and genuinely care and will do whatever they can to help you. Food is also very good.

Detox from drugs and alcohol is a horrid experience I hope you never have to experience. But if you do HAVE to, I HIGHLY recommend doing so here at Princeton Detox. Phenomenal all around. Thank you all again, so, so much.
eddie C.
I wasn't a patient, but i was sent a request for a review so here it is. I am the brother of a former patient and was the one who initially reached out to Princeton for help. As a family member they couldn't have been more helpful and understanding with me. At a time of crisis when i really needed information and direction on how to proceed there staff really understood what i needed to move forward. I cant speak to anything else, but if the help and understanding i received is any inclination of there care for there patients id say its probably stellar.
Stacey R.
Princeton Detox truly cares about the people they serve. They go above and beyond to help every person we send there. The staff is compassionate, professional, and always willing to do whatever it takes to make sure clients are safe, supported, and set up for success in recovery. You can tell they genuinely care about helping people change their lives. We’re so grateful for the amazing work they do every day! A big thank you to Staci Jarnis for her continued dedication to helping others.
Neil S.
Overall it was an excellent experience. The food is amazing, and the staff is incredible. Special shout outs to Regina, Chris(and the entire nursing staff you’re all the best), both Brian’s, Ericka, Joe, Taylor, Kylie, and the Chef’s. You guys are amazing and I thank you for your time and passion for helping people. The only complaints I have is letting the manic chaotic clients ruin the experience for others truly wanting to be calm and focus on detox and recovery. As well as the lack of towels in the morning- that should be addressed as there should always be towels available whether they are being stolen or hoarded. I truly thank all of you for the support, the H&I groups are invaluable and helped a TON. The other groups were okay but feel they could be better. I’d like to thank Alyce for addressing complaints promptly and trying to ensure a safer more comfortable environment. My biggest suggestion is that there should be a security employee at the facility at all times for staff and client safety. ODAAT- It works if you work it. Follow the white rabbit(open your eyes to the world of sobriety and you will enter reality). With love, Neil aka NEO.

During detox, medication is used to ease withdrawal from the drugs or alcohol that clients have been using. The types of medication used are determined by our medical team based on the needs of the client. Common medications used for opiate detox are suboxone and clonidine. Alcohol and benzodiazepines are commonly detoxed using librium, gabapentin and baclofen. If you have questions about detox medication please contact our Treatment Advisors.
