“I want to give a big shoutout to Vernon Williams at Princeton Detox and Recovery Center. Vernon genuinely cares about the people he works with and goes above and beyond to make sure people feel respected, heard, and supported. You can tell he takes his job seriously and actually wants to see people do better. His professionalism, patience, and positive attitude really stand out. People like Vernon are important in this line of work because sometimes a little understanding and encouragement can make a big difference. I definitely appreciate the work he does and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about helping others.”

“The staff is very loving, supportive, and motivating. I am approaching two months sober and a key factor that contributed to my growth process with the soar fit program and structure of New Pathways. I am not only motivated to complete the IOP but also the OP program than come back and share my message of hope and strength. Special shout outs to trainer Shannon, Therapists Michael, Ana, Julia, front desk Janel. Keep doing what you all do best which is changing lives for the better each day.”

Ann D. Princeton Psychiatry & Counseling · 5 months ago

“If you are struggling, don’t hesitate to reach out to Immersion. It’s not easy but nothing worth doing, ever is. The staff is dedicated and committed to helping you work a 12 step program. This program changed my life and it can change yours too. Don’t get overwhelmed, just take it, ONE DAY AT A TIME”. A sober life offers you so many opportunities; rebuild relationships, get what you lost back and more importantly, find peace inner peace. Life gets so much better but it starts with picking up the phone. A friendly voice will walk you through the process and through the doors. I’m sure you are thinking, the timing is not right. Let me have done the research for you. The time is now and months from now you will look back and say, this is the best decision I ever made. If you want to love again, laugh again and live again; the life ring is being tossed out to you. Grab on and hold on tight and remember your life is worth saving. It all begins here!!!”

Cory H. New Pathway Pine Brook · 7 months ago

“My experience at Guardian Recovery was great! I’ve been to treatment 9 times now so I’m familiar with the staff at facilities and there’s was the best I’ve dealt with! All the BHT’s were super knowledgeable because they’ve been in our shoes. Also they truly acted like they cared. If you had a problem they would sit with you and just listen and then try their best to help. The therapist’s were great too! Just all the staff! They have an outing everyday and it rotates between going to an actual gym and the park to get outside where as some other places only do an outing once a week. They also have a tone of snacks that they provide which is great on top of the three meals they give you. Most other places just do meals and then a snack once a day. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone out there that’s suffering from addiction.”
