Recovery that fits real life.
You are not your worst moment. Enlighten Recovery helps adults take the next right step with structure, accountability, and respect — three evenings a week, in Sussex County, New Jersey.
Four commitments. In writing.
- 01A real person, under 15 minutes.Our intake coordinator returns missed calls within 15 minutes during operating hours. No phone trees, no sales pressure.
- 02Assessment within 72 hours.We schedule your clinical assessment within three days of first contact, often sooner.
- 03Insurance navigated, not deflected.We verify benefits before your first visit and explain coverage in plain language. In-network with Horizon, Aetna, Cigna, United, AmeriHealth, and NJ FamilyCare.
- 04An evening schedule that respects your life.Group meets Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:00–9:00 PM so you keep your job, your family, and your routine.
Three kinds of people walk through our door. All of them are welcome.
We are of this place.
Newton. Sparta. Hopatcong. Andover. Stillwater. The towns where the same diner saw your parents on a Saturday morning and saw your kid on a Wednesday afternoon. We chose Sussex County because this is where our families are, where our community is, and where we believe the work of getting better belongs — close enough to walk to after dinner, close enough to bring your mother to.
One disciplined launch service.
We are not opening with a buffet of services. We are opening with one program, run with discipline, until it is the best version of itself. Then we add the next.

Can’t make the drive three nights a week?
Attend the same evening IOP groups by secure video, or split your week between in-person and virtual. Same counselors, same schedule — for New Jersey residents who need recovery to fit around work, weather, and a long drive home.
As we prove Site 1, we will add: court-referred substance use evaluations · anger management group · family recovery education · continuing care and alumni · daytime outpatient therapy. We list these here because we want you to know what is next — not to pretend they are available today.
Want to be a counselor here?
We are hiring our launch team in Sussex County. LCADC / LPC counselors, a Clinical Director, and an Intake Coordinator who actually answer the phone. What we are not is corporate-rehab energy.
Real evening hours so your daytime stays yours. Small caseloads (12–18 active clients per primary counselor). Weekly clinical supervision. Documentation that does not kill you. Compensation: competitive for Northwest NJ — published with each open role.
Our program runs in the evenings. The space is open all day.
Therapists, group facilitators, supervisors, and community meetings can rent our calm clinical rooms during weekday daytime hours — by the hour, the half-day, or a standing weekly slot.
Operating standards, not marketing claims.
These are the operating standards we measure ourselves against every week.
Targets per our internal operating standards. Reported transparently in our annual community report.
A Monday night, start to finish.
We are not a retreat. We are a schedule you can keep after a full day of work. Here is what Monday night — our Foundations evening — actually looks like at our Augusta location.
Compliance is not a back-office task.
It is a brand asset, a payer asset, a referral asset, and a legal risk-control asset. Substance-use records are governed by HIPAA and the stricter 42 CFR Part 2 — the federal rule written specifically for SUD treatment. Court and attorney reports carry only authorized attendance and compliance information. Nothing more.
- Every disclosure logged with date, recipient, scope, and signing party.
- Role-based access. Counselors see their caseload. Billing sees what billing needs.
- Releases of information name the recipient and the scope — never a blanket waiver.
- Court reports contain attendance and compliance only — no unnecessary psychotherapy detail.
Plain answers. No fine print.
Will this satisfy my IDRC or court mandate?
What insurance do you take?
Can my employer find out I am in treatment?
Do you require detox first?
Who is this NOT for?
What if I miss a session?
The hardest part is making the call. We make it easy to make.
Our intake coordinator returns missed calls within 15 minutes during operating hours. No phone trees, no sales pressure, no script.
