Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health

What Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health does

Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health is a regional behavioral health provider operating as a nonprofit subsidiary of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (Penn Medicine) and headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey. Founded circa 1970, the organization has delivered mental health and substance use care in central New Jersey for more than 50 years, and serves adults, teens, and children through a stepped continuum that includes 24/7 hospital-based inpatient stabilization, partial hospitalization programs (full-day), intensive outpatient programs (half-day), and specialty tracks for eating disorders, first responders, and co-occurring disorders.

The clinical model is built on evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities — cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed therapy — supplemented by electroconvulsive therapy under anesthesia for treatment-resistant depression. Specialized service lines include the Princeton Center for Eating Disorders (inpatient care for ages 8 and older), the Eating Disorders IOP/PHP for women 18+, the First Responders Program (the first of its kind in New Jersey, serving firefighters, law enforcement officers, and veterans), and outpatient behavioral health services for tweens and teens. The facility holds The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval and operates with a multidisciplinary staff of board-certified psychiatrists, physicians, specialized nurses, master's-level social workers, therapists, and addiction counselors.

Revenue is generated through professional-services billing to commercial payers (Aetna, Cigna, Horizon Blue Cross, United Healthcare) and government programs (Medicare and Medicaid), with referrals sourced through the Penn Medicine physician network, the MyPennMedicine patient portal, a regional phone contact center, and direct patient self-referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization is structurally integrated into Penn Medicine Princeton Health, sharing infrastructure with Princeton Medical Center and benefiting from the academic medical center's broader specialty and research resources, though it has no disclosed M&A activity, external funding, or independent expansion beyond its central New Jersey service area.
