About Enlightened Recovery
Enlightened Recovery offers a full continuum of care, specializing in a holistic approach to addiction treatment while still including 12-Step programming. They provide medically supported detox, residential care, and outpatient care for a diverse range of clients. The recovery process begins at Enlighten’s state-of-the-art medical detox facility, situated on New Jersey's beautiful Atlantic coast and just 15 minutes away from their residential center. Enlightened Recovery focuses on treating the mind, body, and spirit. Their treatment approach has strong medical and holistic components, an effective combination to create comprehensive treatment.
Build a Foundation for Whole-Person Recovery
Enlightened Recovery uses a treatment process that’s tailored to each client from the moment they arrive to their treatment graduation. Their 30-day residential program addresses 8 aspects of wellness: emotional, environmental, financial, occupational, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual. During residential stays, clients participate in talk therapy, group therapy, brainspotting, and other forms of holistic and 12-Step therapies. To address the nuanced needs of men and women, Enlightened Recovery also offers gender-specific group therapy, providing a safe and understanding space to open up. Co-ed groups bring men and women together and show the many ways in which their struggles are the same, especially during treatment and throughout recovery. Enlightened’s horticulture program provides clients with additional opportunities for growth in an emotional, spiritual, and physical capacity. From nutrition to family therapy to tending the organic farm, each strategy gives clients the tools to fully live again.
Cultivate Wellness Through Nature and Creativity
Enlightened Recovery has a stunning 460-acre farm, complete with a basketball court, ropes course, music center, and on-site music and art therapy yurts. Each day is filled with nature and outdoor activities, where clients can learn how to farm and garden, which teaches them sustainability and self-sufficiency and can be used later in finding work. Enlightened Cafe is their on-site eatery, where clients can enjoy nutritious meals and juices all throughout their stay. The Enlightened Cafe also hosts 12-Step meetings, yoga, meditation, music therapy, and empowerment groups, as it’s one of the coziest and most inviting rooms at Enlightened Recovery.
Recover in Unmatched Comfort
Inpatient stays at Enlightened Recovery are comfortable and luxurious, with upscale, homey accommodations. With both city skyline and water views, plus the care put into each room, Enlightened Recovery is a peaceful environment to start recovery. Inside, clients can relax in air-conditioned rooms, work out in their fitness room, or just spend time reflecting in a quiet environment. Outside, an outdoor lounge awaits, along with a gorgeous garden and various low-key walking trails. Clients benefit from daily housekeeping and relaxing with streaming services like Netflix.

Other Enlightened Recovery Centers To Consider
Lay the Down the Armor and Start Again
Enlightened Recovery knows that the wounds of service aren’t always visible. Their veterans program is designed for those who’ve served in the military and are now facing the challenges of addiction, post traumatic stress disorder, and mental health struggles.

The program includes one-on-one therapy, group support with fellow veterans, and access to VA benefit coordination.
Learn from Shared Experience in Gender-Specific & Co-ed Groups

Wellness practices are also important, and learning about them in a group setting fosters a greater sense of community–and makes it more fun.
Discover the Power of Spirituality for Recovery
Incorporating spirituality is one of their pinnacle treatment modalities at Enlightened Recovery. Looking to a higher power doesn’t have to mean clients become religious or change religions, but rather that they find something that can drive them through the often tumultuous process of recovery. Enlightened Solutions mentors this process and teaches clients about the many benefits of spiritual practices.

Testimonial
I am grateful for Enlightened Recovery for helping my daughter with depression and co-occurring addiction. They offer a place where she and others may recover and progress within a caring and supported environment and community. In case of a set back, it is easy to step back to a higher level of care.
