Enlightened Recovery provides a place where healing for mental health and addiction begins with compassion, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to each person’s well-being. In an upscale, home-like setting, the team walks with clients through a full continuum of care, including detox, residential, day treatment (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient care. Guided by a holistic philosophy, they integrate evidence-based therapies with restorative practices to renew mind, body, and spirit, empowering clients toward brighter, healthier futures.

Combine Clinical Excellence with Renewing Practices

At Enlightened Recovery, clients engage in individual and group therapy, family therapy, and relapse prevention while also exploring brainspotting, yoga, mindfulness, nutrition counseling and expressive outlets through music and art therapy. Gender-specific groups provide safe, understanding spaces for growth, while co-ed groups highlight shared challenges and strengths. With this integrated approach, Enlightened Recovery equips clients to step into lifelong wellness and recovery with confidence.

Cultivate Wellness with Indoor and Outdoor Comforts

Residential treatment offers comfortable, home-like settings with shared or private rooms, daily housekeeping, and chef-prepared meals. Indoor amenities include a fitness center, relaxing lounges, and streaming entertainment. Outdoor options on the 460-acre farm invite reflection and movement with horticulture therapy, basketball courts, walking trails, gardens, and a ropes course. The on-site Enlightened Café provides nourishing meals, fresh juices, and a welcoming space for connection and community.

Maintain Momentum After Residential Treatment

Aftercare is central to Enlightened Recovery’s vision for lasting change. Graduates may continue in outpatient programs or sober living while staying connected to counseling, peer support, and relapse prevention strategies. This structured transition ensures momentum carries forward, drawing on the resilience and purpose forged during treatment. By extending compassionate support beyond discharge, Enlightened Recovery empowers clients to keep growing and thriving in long-term recovery.

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. It is an excellent program.

Enlightened Recovery teaches sustainable living practices like gardening, composting, and recycling. They use their gardens to grow nutritious food while teaching clients about nutrition, sustainable living, and everyday cooking skills. Wellness practices like yoga, art, and exercise are also important, and learning them in groups fosters community and makes participation more fun for everyone present.
Discover the Power of Spirituality for Recovery
Discover the Power of Spirituality for Recovery
Incorporating spirituality is one of the 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 Recovery mentors this journey, showing how spiritual practices can sustain and empower recovery.
