Princeton Detox & Recovery Center has the most helpful, caring, honest, and supportive staff. You can tell immediately that all staff, whether it be the counselors, nurses, or behavioral techs truly care about every single client that comes through the door. Recovery can be extremely intimidating and scary at first, but Princeton Detox makes the first step of recovery incredibly easy to navigate. I highly recommend anyone considering taking the first step to sobriety to come to Princeton Detox & Recovery Center. The support and encouragement by staff is unmatched and every client that walks through the door leaves with a better understanding of themselves and the benefits of achieving sobriety. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone to looking to safely and appropriately detox.

Staff is great here. Everyone is super helpful. If you're ready they will do their utmost to try to get you where you need to go and pull out all the stops.Food is good, they offer groups if you're feeling well enough to attend. Tvs in every room. If you aren't feeling well they do their best to leave you alone. You can smoke anytime of day or night. The courtyard is always open.If you need to come somewhere to get cleared up to get back on track or even need to come back after falling off, I'd highly recommend you come here.

Princeton Detox & recovery center literally saved my life. I knew for years I needed to get help for my addiction but was so held back by the idea of what going to detox & rehab after would be like. I have no doubt that if I went to another detox / rehab I would not still be sober today. The staff there was so warm, friendly & supportive & the facility was 5 star & very comfortable! If you're in the situation of needing to get help for addiction I could not recommend Princeton more!

I've been to multiple detox centers and by far this is the best. The staff is attentive and compassionate. As soon as you come in the doors staff will be constantly checking up on you waiting to help. They starting working on my treatment plan as soon as I came suggesting options for me to stay sober and not live the life I've been living for the past years. Great place, highly recommend.

Learn More About Detox

Addiction is an extremely complex and individualized disorder – one that affects men and women of all ages and social backgrounds in a variety of ways. The consequences of addiction range from physical to emotional and psychological. Those struggling with addictive disorders not only repeatedly put themselves in physical danger, but they wreak emotional havoc in their own lives and in the lives of their loved ones. Those suffering from addiction typically also face problems at work or school, and have an extremely difficult time maintaining jobs, grades, and general motivation and productivity. Fortunately, because addiction is such a serious and widespread problem, many resources are available to those looking to recover. While those in active addiction may believe that recovery is an impossible feat, beginning the journey towards a joyous, fulfilled, and substance-free lifestyle is possible for anyone – no matter how far down the scale they have gone.

Drug Detox

Drug detox is a blanket term used to describe any detoxification facility that assists individuals who have struggled with drug addiction, and are looking to begin living drug-free lives. If an individual has been using drugs for an extended period of time, or if he or she has been abusing a great quantity of drugs over a shorter period of time, detox will precede long-term inpatient treatment. In this sense, drug detox is utilized to physically stabilize an individual before he or she begins healing emotionally and mentally. Many believe that they can detox themselves at home; however, doing so may prove to be dangerous as well as ineffective. Oftentimes, there are medical complications when it comes to withdrawal. Though complications may not be life-threatening, they can cause unnecessary injury if a detoxing individually is not being medically supervised.

At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center we have extensive experience treating individuals who struggle with addiction, regardless of what substance or combination of substances they have been using. Because the symptoms of withdrawal can be so uncomfortable, and because medical complications have been known to occur, professional supervision is crucial. Not only does medical monitoring result in a more safe detox, but it helps to prevent potential relapse.

Alcohol Detox

Those who have struggled with alcoholism are more likely to experience severe and potentially life-threatening symptoms of withdrawal. Seeing as alcohol is a depressant, it alters your brain function, and changes the way in which your central nervous system communicates. If you consistently abuse alcohol for an extended period of time, the way your brain functions will change in a major way. When use is abruptly stopped, the brain will remain in an altered state, leading to serious symptoms of physical and psychological withdrawal. Mild symptoms including headache, stomach cramping, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and shaky hands, will begin within several hours of the last drink. More serious symptoms of withdrawal will likely begin to take hold within the next 24 to 48 hours. These symptoms may include rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, tremors, severe confusion, depression, anxiety, and even hallucinations (known as delirium tremens). These symptoms can be harshly uncomfortable – even life-threatening if not adequately monitored.

There Is Hope!
