South Jersey addiction access expands; Enlightened Recovery unveils 22-bed residential hub

As the nationwide demand for intensive addiction treatment continues to surge, Enlightened Recovery (formerly Enlightened Solutions) announced the opening of a new 22-bed residential treatment facility on its sprawling 300-acre campus in Egg Harbor Township.

The state-of-the-art rehab center officially began accepting patients in mid-January. The expansion marks a significant milestone for Southern New Jersey’s behavioral health care infrastructure, providing a secluded, rural sanctuary designed to facilitate long-term recovery for individuals battling substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.

The newly constructed facility is integrated into Enlightened Recovery’s existing “main campus” ecosystem, which offers a full spectrum of addiction services. By adding 22 residential beds, the provider aims to serve more than 1,000 individuals over the next two years.

Key Facility Amenities & Features:

  • Accommodations: A mix of private and semi-private rooms designed for dignity and comfort.
  • Environment: A rural, 300+ acre setting that utilizes nature as a therapeutic tool.
  • Clinical Spaces: Dedicated areas for evidence-based talk therapies and medical monitoring.
  • Holistic Wellness: On-site spaces for yoga, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and art therapy.

“We are excited to deliver Enlightened Recovery to patients in a whole new way,” Rob Snyder, chief operating officer said. “This expansion represents hope for families, for communities, and for every individual who walks through our doors seeking a new beginning.”

The opening comes at a critical time for New Jersey. While the state has seen historic investments through national opioid settlement funds—totaling over $1 billion through 2030—gaps in residential bed availability have remained a challenge for families in the Atlantic and Ocean County regions.

Enlightened Recovery’s model emphasizes a “whole-person” approach, bridging the gap between medical stabilization and community reintegration.

Level of Care Description Typical Duration
Medical Detox 24/7 supervised withdrawal management. 7–14 Days
Residential (New) Intensive, on-site clinical and holistic therapy. 30–90 Days
Partial Care (PHP) Day-based treatment while living at home or in sober living. 30+ Days
Intensive Outpatient Structured therapy (IOP) that accommodates work or school. 6–12 Weeks

The provider is not only expanding its physical footprint but also its community partnerships. Enlightened Recovery actively collaborates with South Jersey first responders, veterans’ groups, and local hospitals to coordinate care for high-risk populations.

As a fully licensed and Joint Commission-accredited facility, the center primarily serves individuals with commercial insurance. By integrating services across their massive Egg Harbor Township campus, the organization ensures that patients can transition from detox to residential care without the logistical stress of changing locations—a key factor in reducing relapse during early recovery.
