3 Reviews on “Princeton House Behavioral Health”
If I am alive today, it is because of Princeton House Behavioral Health. The docs are great, and the staff excellent. The only thing stopping me from giving a 5-star shout out is the carelessness exhibited by the staff. I was placed in a committed floor without my consent, not once, but thrice. It always took them one whole day to realize their mistake. When they realized it, they immediately changed it. The staff on that unit is lovely, but I was having issues with other residents. That said, if I need to go to rehab again, then I will take my car and come here.
I was discharged a month ago from PHBH, and I wanted to highlight a few things. As they say, looks can be deceiving, and it was not as rosy as the clicks showed. The food is mediocre and is just enough to make you survive in the hospital. Zero snacks and beverages. The third thing which bugged me was the rooms. There were three twin beds which were crammed into one place, leaving very little room for free movement. There were a few pluses: First, the ensuite bathrooms. Second, the groups are boring, but the counselors do put in the effort to make it more interesting. Thirdly, the employees are excellent and well-mannered. But do not expect any special treatment just because you are sad. They come here to work and collect their check. An average place, if you ask me.
This place treats you like a human. There are no preferences for anybody. They do not give you the treatment you desire, they give you the treatment that you need. The staff is sometimes very strict, but then one has to understand that it is for our good. I love this place and excellent staff. The only thing that disappointed me was the bland food. If you leave that out, this is the best place to seek rehab.
