Also available for adolescents at Princeton House North Brunswick is the Emotional Eating Track, for those with both disordered eating patterns and mood disorders.

All programs feature a comprehensive evaluation and medical management by a board-certified child psychiatrist and age-appropriate therapeutic interventions from licensed master’s level clinicians, registered nurses, and a dietitian.

Depending on the child’s needs, treatment options include:

• Intensive Outpatient Program: three hours per day, three days per week.
