Teen Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Addiction Treatment Program (PHP) for Teens
At The Living Room, we welcome teens with care and understanding. We know how heavy substance use and mental health struggles can feel, and we offer a path that is both structured and gentle.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for teens in New Jersey provides the highest level of outpatient care, just one step below inpatient rehab.
Each day, teens join us for full‑day therapeutic support, then return home in the evening to rest and reconnect with family. This rhythm helps young people heal in a safe, supportive space while staying grounded in school, community, and the relationships that matter most.
Why Choose Our Our Adolescent PHP in New Jersey?
Choosing the right path for a teen struggling with substance use is a profound act of care. At The Living Room, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for adolescents in New Jersey is designed to meet the unique needs of young people with both structure and gentleness. We believe healing happens best when teens feel seen, supported, and connected to what matters most.
- Age‑Appropriate Support: Teens face challenges that are different from adults, and they deserve care that honors those differences. Our counselors and therapists specialize in adolescent development, offering guidance that speaks to the realities of peer pressure, identity, and emotional growth. This support helps teens build resilience and discover healthier ways to cope.
- Continued Education: We know academics remain important even during recovery. Our program allows teens to keep up with schoolwork while receiving intensive therapeutic care. This balance helps them stay on track academically, easing the transition back to everyday life and reducing stress about falling behind.
- Safe and Nurturing Environment: Healing requires a space that feels safe, warm, and free from judgment. At The Living Room, teens are welcomed into an environment that encourages growth and self‑discovery. Here, they can practice new skills, build confidence, and lay the foundation for a brighter future.
- Most Intensive Outpatient Care Available: Our teen PHP in New Jersey delivers full‑day addiction treatment with the intensity of inpatient care, yet without overnight stays. Teens heal in a structured, compassionate setting while returning home each evening to reconnect with family, practice new skills, and stay grounded.
- Family and Community Support for Recovery: Recovery is not a solitary journey. We invite families to be part of the process, strengthening bonds and creating a supportive network that extends beyond treatment. Teens remain connected to their loved ones and community, which reinforces the sense of belonging that is essential for lasting change.
What to Expect in Teen PHP
Our Partial Hospitalization Program for teens offers a comprehensive range of services to support addiction recovery and personal growth:
- Individual and Group Therapy: Teens engage in daily counseling and group sessions led by experienced clinicians who understand adolescent struggles.
- Dual-Diagnosis Care: Special attention to conditions that often co-occur in teens with addiction, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma that often accompany addiction in teens.
- Education Integration: Academic schedules remain supported, allowing teens to continue schoolwork while receiving intensive therapeutic care.
- Family Involvement: We invite the family into the process through our Family Therapy program, helping the family heal with the teen in treatment.
- Life Skills Training: Practical tools help teens navigate challenges, build confidence, and make healthier choices for their future.
- Peer Support: Connection with peers facing similar challenges fosters belonging, encouragement, and a supportive recovery community.
Special Considerations for Teens in PHP
Teens facing addiction often need more than weekly therapy or short sessions. Finding more intensive substance use disorder treatment for teens can be challenging. They may need a structured, full‑day program that provides intensive care without the sometimes isolating feel of inpatient rehab.
Our Teen Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed as a step down from higher levels of treatment, such as medical detox or residential drug rehab, and offers the most comprehensive form of outpatient care available. Running five days a week for about six hours each day, our Teen PHP combines therapeutic depth with academic and social support, giving adolescents the stability they need while still returning home each evening.
Here’s how The Living Room’s Teen PHP is uniquely tailored for young people:
- We arrange and schedule inpatient detox (as needed) with our trusted partner program before PHP begins, ensuring a safe and seamless transition into care.
- A separate teen track distinct from the adult program, with curriculum and therapy designed expressly for adolescents.
- On‑site teachers help students stay current with coursework, minimizing academic disruption.
- Full‑day treatment, five days a week, provides the highest level of outpatient care while avoiding the institutionalized feel of inpatient rehab.
- A focus on intensive therapeutic support and skills‑building, helping teens strengthen resilience, manage triggers, and create healthier patterns.
- Ongoing skills‑building and therapeutic support help teens strengthen resilience, manage triggers, and grow into healthier patterns.
This structure allows teens to benefit from clinically robust addiction treatment without losing touch with the rhythms of home and school, making recovery both practical and sustainable.

Welcome to The Living Room at PrincetonLet’s Start Your Journey Today
SOLUTIONS FOR A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS
Clinical Depression
Depression is a complex mental health diagnosis with a wide variety of potential causes. No two people experience depression the same way. This is why treatment at The Living Room begins with a detailed assessment that will be used to custom-tailor your treatment plan. Most depression is manageable. With the right support, people with depression can often thrive and reclaim long-lost satisfaction in their lives.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
The symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) often aren’t as acute as other anxiety disorders, like panic attacks. Because of this, GAD is a condition that may go undiagnosed for years. People with anxiety frequently develop coping mechanisms. However, without anxiety treatment, GAD can unnecessarily compromise your quality of life. We offer practical, evidence-based anxiety treatment that helps people recapture joy and find peace again.
Bipolar Disorder I
Bipolar Disorder I is the more familiar type of what used to be called ‘manic depression’. Bipolar I is characterized by periods of mania (heightened mood and energy) and depressive episodes. Maintaining balance is essential to successfully managing this condition and avoiding episodes that lead to hospitalization. We treat Bipolar Disorder I with careful assessment, mental health therapy, and medication management.
Bipolar Disorder II
Bipolar Disorder II is another mental health condition that may be overlooked because it can be challenging to diagnose. While manic episodes are much less common, and both manic and depressive episodes are less severe, Bipolar Disorder II can still be quite disruptive. We treat Bipolar Disorder II with thorough evaluation, mental health counseling, and medication, where appropriate.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is the result of one or more traumatic experiences. Living with untreated PTSD can be extremely difficult. When a person’s mind struggles to process trauma, it can manifest as anxiety, stress, flashbacks, and nightmares. Untreated, it may lead to addiction as sufferers self-medicate. Fortunately, PTSD can be successfully treated using a range of practical, evidence-based approaches, including EMDR therapy.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is a deeply human experience that often arises from the mind’s attempt to find safety and certainty in an uncertain world. Individuals living with OCD may be visited by persistent, intrusive thoughts or fixations that feel distressing or unwanted. In response, they may engage in repetitive actions or rituals — such as counting or checking — as a way to soothe the inner turmoil these thoughts create.
At The Living Room at Princeton, we hold space for each person’s unique healing journey. We offer compassionate guidance through a blend of evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and supportive approaches, such as medication management, when needed. Our intention is to help individuals reconnect with inner peace, develop trust in themselves, and find freedom from the cycles that once felt overwhelming.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Borderline Personality Disorder is often a reflection of deep emotional sensitivity and a longing for connection, safety, and belonging. Those who live with BPD may experience intense emotional waves, shifting self-identity, fears of abandonment, and challenges in relationships. These experiences can feel overwhelming, but they are also expressions of a tender heart seeking to be seen, loved, and understood.
At The Living Room at Princeton, we approach healing with reverence for each individual’s inner wisdom and resilience. We offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) individual therapy, and skills training grounded in mindfulness and compassionate awareness. When needed, we also incorporate supportive medications. Our intention is to help individuals learn to anchor themselves in emotional balance, deepen their self-compassion, and build loving, stable relationships — both with others and within themselves.
Panic Disorder
A person with Panic Disorder experiences recurring, unexpected panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort—accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, or dizziness, often causing persistent worry about future attacks. They may become isolated or afraid to leave their homes. We treat Panic Disorder using CBT and panic-focused psychotherapy. Medication management can also be an effective part of treatment.
Postpartum Depression
Postpartum Depression is a mood disorder a mother can experience after childbirth. The symptoms may include intense sadness, fatigue, anxiety, and difficulty bonding with their newborn infant. Mental health treatment for postpartum depression at The Living Room generally includes individual therapy, CBT, lifestyle changes, and support groups. Medications, such as SSRIs, can also be a helpful tool for managing postpartum depression.
