About Us

The Living Room at Princeton has truly changed my life, and I can’t thank them enough. I want to personally thank August Leming, also known as Doc, for opening this incredible place and creating a safe, welcoming space for real healing to happen. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen, heard, and supported not just by Doc, but by every staff member here. Everyone makes you feel like you belong and reminds you that your healing matters.

This is not like any treatment center I’ve ever been to. It’s smaller, which allows for almost constant, one-on-one engagement with the staff. The therapists are kind, compassionate, and truly invested in your progress. I want to give special thanks to my therapist, Mark, who has been pivotal for me. He creates such a safe space during our one-on-one sessions, and the EMDR therapy he provides has been exactly what I need. His kindness, compassion, and ability to truly listen have made a huge impact on my healing journey.

I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD, Mdd (major depressive disorder) anxiety, ADHD, SDD (seasonal depression disorder) Through The Living Room’s approach, I am finally able to work on these mental health challenges in a real, meaningful way. I do take my medication regularly, and I know that’s an important part of my stability right now. But I also believe that, over time, with the practices I’m learning here, my brain will continue to heal and rewire — and I may eventually be able to rely less on medications because I’ll have the tools within myself.

One of the most powerful things I’ve learned here is meditation and breath work. It has been absolutely paramount for me. I’ve learned so much about my mind, body, and soul, and how deeply connected they are. For the first time, I feel like I have real tools to help me when I’m frustrated, overwhelmed, or emotionally triggered. In the past, I would’ve turned to alcohol to numb those feelings. But now, through the breath work, meditation, and mind-body-soul practices I’m learning, I can stay present and move through those difficult moments with clarity and strength.

The group sessions are safe, supportive spaces where I can open up about my traumas without fear of judgment, surrounded by people who genuinely care and understand.

If you are struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health, this is the place where you need to be. The techniques they use here are some of the most unique and effective I’ve ever experienced, and they will help guide you through recovery in a way that feels real, personal, and lasting.

I am beyond grateful for Doc, Mark, the entire staff, and this program for helping me find hope, strength, and a true path to healing. Thank you for your time.

I had a wonderful experience here! The staff is amazing. The nurses are professional and thorough, the food is delicious and the beds are comfy! I highly recommend Princeton Detox for anyone looking to begin recovery! I learned a lifetimes worth of knowledge from the group meetings as well!

Princeton detox is the only place I’d ever recommend. They go above and beyond and you truly walk out of there as a new person. The group sessions and respect from staff especially Joe Tom and Brian (everyone really) i can never be more grateful.

If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, please please PLEASE call Princeton Detox! The medical staff and technicians are extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I never felt judged or ashamed for the situation I was in. My accommodations were updated, clean and comfortable. If there was anything further I needed whether it be personal or medical the staff was sure to get right on it to make me as comfortable as possible. The 3 full meals a day we're always prepared with thought and balance, and the always open snack/beverage bar were always stocked. I'm excited for the next step in my recovery journey but will certainly miss my treatment team at Princeton Detox. Thank you for a new beginning!!

This was my first time going into detox and I was no picnic to deal with the first few days but the staff were absolutely amazing and took great care of me. If you're looking for a place to go for help I strongly suggest here.

Had a family member who went through the program there and liked it. Said a tech named Stacy (unsure of last name) was the best and kept
Him comfortable. He said if it wasn't for the tech he was gonna AMA. Since then he's been sober and in the AA program.
