When I originally called for help. Everyone was nice and seemed willing to help find a location for me. Once I had made up my mind to they contacted me during the last of many calls, I advised them I that decided to go another route. It was then that the person I was speaking with became very aggressive. I don't need to be verbally triggered at this time by an aggressive male badgering about my choice. Stop calling me! read more

After a bout of depression, our adolescent daughter was there for what are called full-day and half-day programs for 6-7 weeks. High Focus really helped her get back on track. The staff members are all very caring and responsive and are willing to help---they returned email and phone messages promptly. They were supposed to give us biweekly family therapy sessions, but they were gracious to give us weekly sessions. The classmates of our daughter were quite good. After being there, she was much better than how she was when she joined them. We are very happy with our experience with them. read more

This program changed my life!!! Give yourself the opportunity to learn as you go and truly allow yourself to feel your emotions. Thank you so much to every therapist I had the opportunity to interact with. They all have something special and unique about them! In particular, Dee, Juan, Dan, Alexa and Amanda!!! Dr. Ralph is also one of the best psychiatrists I've met and I had the honor to work with her. Thank you for making my life better and for taking the time to understand my individual needs. Also, thank you Makayla for all your kindness and patience! Lastly, it was a pleasure interacting with every team member of the PHP program. I will miss all of you guys especially Robert and Jen! You guys will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you everyone for being vulnerable in the group and for asking for help to be able to heal from all the heavy stuff we all carry in many different ways. I recommend this program to everyone going through a rough time. You will be transformed when you get out!! Xoxo read more

My son was referred here by a therapist and after 2 weeks we found there was no progress and it was more like elementary school for a 16 year old's! We had a concern with my son and a medical condition and tried to work that out but we couldn't find common ground and pulled our son out. The staff was not willing to work out a comprise to make this a better experience. We thought working with mental health providers that they had some experience with common sense and medical conditions. When we pulled him out, other therapy provider had to drop us for not completing the program, which left my son without any handoff of care, no medication management, etc. This is not a good thing to have happen with mental health related patients. This all could have been avoided if the staff would have taken our requests seriously. I would not recommend the facility based on this information. read more

TW: SI, Suicide Attempt - - - - - I was admitted here in 2021 in an iop as an adult. Some of the programs there were good, the lgbtqia+ group that was started that year was fantastic. But the psychiatrist I was assigned misdiagnosed me and gave me meds that increased my anxiety to dangerous levels. For a month I tried to tell her how bad things were getting, having SI and all. She ignored me and kept increasing the dosage. The day after I "graduated" the program the meds shorted out my brain so much that I tried to take my own life. If I hadn't been rushed to the hospital by my parents I might have succeeded. In conclusion this psychiatrist almost killed me so do not go here. Extremely dangerous. read more

My son is receiving treatment post inpatient. The treatment is effective. Staff is friendly, professional and very good at communicating with parents. They make sure he is up to date with school requirement. Group Therapy is very good. read more

Only giving high focus one star because of Jonathan, a therapist at High Focus. Jonathan is one of the therapist that persistently will annoy the hell out of you when you are done with your recommended sessions and will beg for you to come in when you don't have any issues going on or any issues that you feel like you want to talk about. My recommendation is that you stay far away from Jonathan! But to be honest High Focus is a fantastic treatment facility that can really help you out while you're going through a tough time. read more

For reference, I am currently in my mid twenties but first attended High Focus Centers during my adolescence. This review primarily focuses on my most recent experience in my twenties at the Lawerenceville office. High Focus gets a five star review from me. Since I was young I've struggled with both mental health and chemical dependency issues, some of which became very severe. I've been a frequent flyer through inpatient and outpatient facilities. With the exception of one or two hiccups or conflicts in personality, High Focus Center has phenomenal staff and a phenomenal program on both the addiction and mental health side of things (and integrates both into a fantastic "co-occuring" program as well, rare to find it done in a well balanced fashion). I've made it to actively working a program of recovery and healing from my past, but that took going to treatment repeatedly until I could finally accept the help. There was a point in time which I had been through Princeton House IOP and High Focus Centers IOP at least three times each, and needed treatment again. Due to personal legal circumstances, Princeton House turned me down when I needed help. It was at this point that I contacted High Focus, and one of the directors of the program had told me that they would accept me into their program because they've worked with me before and knew that my legal situation was a reflection on my disease/disorder, and not me as a person. Had they turned me away as well, I don't know that I would have had adequate enough support to begin to recover. If you are looking for an outpatient program who CARES about its' patients and builds relationships with them as people, with a comprehensive understanding of addiction, mental illness, and co-occuring disorders, High Focus Centers is a great fit. Not only do they show genuine interest in helping people recover inside of their program, but I have personally seen their staff participating in outside community events to raise awareness about addiction and recovery, such as the recent Overdose Awareness event in Robbinsville. The facility itself is cleanly and well maintained, and group facilitators keep the peace within group sessions as well as skillfully guide groups through different exercises and informative lessons. The staff is friendly, respectful, and non-judgemental. Staff continues to uphold high standards of respect, knowledgeability, and genuine concern for patient well being when in one-on-one sessions. Family therapy sessions strike a tactful balance between helping families to communicate more easily and respecting the personal differences, opinions, and individual personalities of each family member. Patient anonymity is taken very seriously, and High Focus Centers is vigilant in not only abiding by HIPA standards, but takes care to respect anonymity on a more personalized level as well, including a checklist that the patient fills out of what CAN and CANNOT be shared by a clinician or doctor to: other outside doctors, other facilities, other family members, emergency contacts, probationary officers, other patients, etc. High Focus Centers informs their patients of a plethora of aftercare options for both mental health and chemical dependency issues. High Focus Centers is highly organized in its goal-oriented approach at treatment, and before parting with the facility some of your last treatment goals involve scheduling appointments with aftercare providers and planning on other treatment methods as well. These providers and methods can include psychiatrists, therapists, other mental health facilities, sober living situations, twelve step programs, SMART recovery programs, etc. as well as offering some of their own once-weekly, group based aftercare options. High Focus also takes surveys and suggestions from their patients as they are in the program, and has achieved adding more variety in their groups (art/music therapy, meditation/yoga) as well as expressing a desire to expand their options even further. Altogether its really just a great place to receive help from, I'd recommend it to anyone struggling and in need of an outpatient program. read more

We rarely write reviews, but figure if you are looking here, we owe it to you. Our teen child participated in their all-day program for depression, anxiety, cutting and eating disorder. The staff was exceptional: knowledgeable, highly focused on the well being of our child, rigorous, responsive to the involvement of the family, very likable, positive and friendly. They tailored treatment for particular issues and goals of the child. Or child did not like their first day, but quickly really applied herself, enjoyed the program, and left after two weeks confident and excited to return to school. Other places we interviewed by phone seemed unresponsive to the timing and program needs of the patient and family. read more
