Princeton House Women’s Program resumes in-person treatment in North Brunswick

North Brunswick, NJ—The Women’s Program at Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health resumed in-person treatment at its North Brunswick location on February 12, 2024. The site is located at 1460 Livingston Avenue, Building 100, North Brunswick, NJ.

The Women’s Program offers intensive treatment for women struggling with acute mental health issues involving trauma, trauma and addiction, or life transitions. Since March 2020, the program had been operating as a telehealth service, providing three hours of treatment per day, three to five days per week. Now that the service is operating in-person, both the Partial Hospital Program (30 hours per week) and the Intensive Outpatient Program (9 hours per week) are available. 

Considered by many behavioral health professionals to be the premier service of its kind in New Jersey, the Princeton House Women’s Program utilizes evidence-based practices to address the special needs of women, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). 

Princeton House offers the Women’s Program in North Brunswick, Princeton, Eatontown, Hamilton, and Moorestown. North Brunswick is the last site to resume in-person treatment. A telehealth version of the program, which began in March 2020, will remain available to women who live too far from one of these five sites to travel there daily.

“While our research showed that telehealth was as effective as in-person treatment,” said Alan Giordano, director of outpatient services in North Brunswick, “we find that people long for personal connection and actually prefer to come together with their therapists and others for treatment, now that many COVID-19-related issues have been resolved.”

“We are also pleased to continue to make the virtual program available as well, allowing those who identify as women to access treatment no matter where they reside in New Jersey,” said Giordano.
