Posted on Bernard MorganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to enlightened on October 8th 2023 and I’ve been clean ever since! I’ve been in and out of detoxes and rehabs and I never really got it right cus I wasn’t serious, however I came here at my lowest I’ve ever been in my life! I felt barely human, my drug of choice was fentanyl so you could imagine the rough shape I was in, I weighed as much as I did in middle school when I went in and I was 27 at the time, but anyways, I went in with my face looking to my feet cus I was so ashamed to even look anyone in the face and the people there were so kind the techs and nurses and staff treated me with such kindness I’ve never experienced in my life and especially the people who did my intake the one guy with the beard I forgot his name but I’ll never forget that he told me “ look at me don’t look at your feet, it’s okay bro it’s okay you don’t need to be ashamed your here and everybody here is like you too” he really welcomed me and I really appreciate that and I’ll never forget that this place got me back up got my strength back up and the beds and rooms are nice tvs in each room, even the other patience everyone was cool, nobody had a problem with anybody and the groups weren’t boring like some places might be, this was the only detox I was in every single group because it was the first time I had a good time without getting high, my casr manger and therapist were chill and took care of my disability with my job, this place is really god sent, I know it’s almost 2 years since I was there but I really had to thank them and make this review cus I don’t believe I would still be here if it wasn’t for all of them, thank you enlightened solutions I won’t waste the opportunity you guys gave me back in life thank you, Bernard M.Posted on LukeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing detox with great people running it. I’ve unfortunately been to many rehabs in NJ and can say that Enlightened Recovery was one of the best. Not even comparable to most of the places out there. Incredibly comfortable facility with great staff who all seem to be there for the right reason. House keeping, chef/kitchen, techs, and management were so caring and helpful it’s like night and day compared to most other detoxes/rehabs. They put up with a lot of my shenanigans, and time after time they were still caring and tried to help. I just wasn’t ready at the time but can gladly say I have just over 5 months now. If you’re looking for the place this is it.Posted on Mariel HarmelinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m unable to attend enlightenment (although I’ve heard great reviews about them from other people) because they don’t accept my insurance unfortunately. Brian from intake was absolutely wonderful and went out of his way to help answer my questions and help me on my journey to finding help. I can’t understate how empathetic and supportive he was, thank you Brian.Posted on AriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been here more than once (unfortunately on my part) but every single time I’ve been, I’ve been treated by the most gentle kind and caring staff. The facilities are comfortable and clean, the food is healthy and filling, the nursing is very caring and ran well, and the techs truly care about the clients who come in. Same for the counselors, who truly want to see people do well and recover their lives. The facility is also beautifully located and many of the rooms provide beautiful, calming views of the water. My only three suggestions: if you think you need to go, go. Second, listen to the suggestions and advice given to you here; they care and much of the staff is in recovery themselves so they understand. And finally, go to aftercare if you can. It’s so necessary to not just stabilize your physical health in detox, but get ahold of the mental/emotional causes behind addiction in aftercare.Posted on Sky MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely love Enlightened; they helped save my life and began my journey into sobriety. They educated and engaged with me during the entire process. The staff was wonderful and caring, they provided great insight into holistic practices. They provided compassion and understanding. A clean, healthy diet was provided to aid in healing. The facility is beautiful.Posted on Kathy TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was there in May and would tell anyone to go there.Its so clean and healthy food.The staff is awesome.James/Alisa/Lexi/Sam(nurse)/The Techs=Scott/Linda/Mona/Lexi/Troy/all were so caring.Posted on Kylie GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have my mom back. She fought alcoholism my whole childhood. She feels so much better, looks healthier and sounds amazing. I couldn’t thank this place enough!Posted on emily spauldingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Enlightened solutions really care about their patients I wouldn’t have been able to get sober without them. The entire process was amazing and I was well looked after.

How long does addiction treatment usually last?
The length of care varies based on individual needs, progress, and goals. Some individuals begin with more intensive services and gradually step down to lower levels as stability improves.
