A stunning facility with a highly experienced team dedicated to guiding clients through their first steps toward recovery. The client rooms are spacious, the meals are freshly prepared each day, and most importantly, the staff's passion and experience is truly evident. Clients are taken care of at Princeton Detox
Staff were very pleasant. You can feel that some staff came from a personal place of experience with past addiction which made the experience more personable. I left the facility with no cravings and withdrawals considering it was my first experience here. The food was phenomenal and staff made you feel comfortable across the board. I would definitely recommend this facility to those in need of recovery and detox !
Staff are very attentive to your needs and they make you feel really comfortable within the facility.. the have wonderful groups and a great chef!

Frequently Asked Questions

Many people struggle with this question, often waiting until they’re in crisis before seeking help. The truth is, if mental health challenges are impacting your daily lifeโ€”whether that’s affecting your sleep, relationships, work performance, or overall well-beingโ€”it’s worth exploring professional care. You don’t need to be at your breaking point to benefit from treatment. Our initial consultation can help you understand if treatment would be beneficial, and many clients tell us they wish they’d reached out sooner. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Unlike traditional mental health settings where providers work independently, our coordinated care model ensures all your providersโ€”therapists, psychiatrists, and other specialistsโ€”work together as a unified team. They talk regularly to discuss your progress, adjust treatment plans, and ensure all aspects of your care are working in harmony. This approach eliminates the common frustration of having to coordinate between different providers or repeat your story multiple times. Many clients tell us this integrated approach helps them feel truly supported and understood for the first time in their treatment journey.

We accept most major insurance plans. Our insurance specialists will verify your benefits before treatment begins and explain exactly what is covered. For those with out-of-pocket expenses or without insurance coverage, we offer flexible alternative payment options. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to receiving quality mental health care and will work with you to find a solution that makes treatment accessible.

Therapy at Bishop Health is a personalized process that may include individual counseling, group therapy, and other therapeutic activities designed to address specific mental health needs and goals.

An IOP is a structured mental health care program that provides more support than typical outpatient therapy but less intensity than inpatient or residential treatment. It typically includes group therapy, individual counseling, and other therapeutic activities while allowing clients to live at home and maintain daily responsibilities.

Yes, we encourage family involvement as it can benefit the overall recovery journey. The extent of family involvement is determined collaboratively with the client and their therapist.
Starting treatment at Bishop Health begins with an initial consultation, where we assess your needs and discuss appropriate treatment options. You can schedule a consultation by contacting our office.

Research consistently shows that virtual treatment can be as effective as in-person care for many individuals. Our virtual program maintains the same evidence-based approaches and quality standards as our in-person services. Some clients actually prefer virtual treatment, finding it easier to engage from the safety and comfort of their own space. We carefully assess each client’s situation to determine if virtual treatment is appropriate and make adjustments as needed.
