The recovery process begins at Enlightened’s state-of-the-art medical detox facility, situated on New Jersey's beautiful Atlantic coast. Enlightened Recovery Detox monitors detox 24/7, with medical staff on site and a physician and nurse practitioner on-call 24/7.

Enlightened Recovery Detox also offers equine therapy and family therapy.
Throughout their detox, clients have access to multiple on-site peer support groups and 1:1 consultations to help demystify detox and the next steps in treatment.
