Counselors are great. they were the best in helping you to cope with your addiction and on how to live A BETTER LIFE.
First off I would like to start with My experience at Enlightened Solutions was the best experience I\'ve had in a drug and alcohol treatment facility and let me add that they took me in with no money or insurance on a scholarship until I and the clinical felt I was ready for the next step this center does not care about money yes it\'s a business as well but they genuinely care about the CLIENT! A Little about myself I\'ve been battling drug and alcohol addiction for 10 years I have been to multiple facilities from California to Florida I\'m a native to New Jersey and always went out of state because of lack of reputable treatment centers to get help. I was living in Florida for the past three years ended up putting some time together and got sober due to my lack of sticking with what I learned and the program I ended up going back out this being sent to New Jersey a place I never thought I would be going back to but I needed the help I was going to die. As soon as I got off the plane It was a warm Welcome by the staff who picked me up and from there my experience was far more then I expected in such a positive way. The housing is beautiful the cleanest center I have ever been to or have seen in my opinion, the therapists are phenomenal all of them! The work I did was so crucial they opened my eyes to whole new perspective! What I also loved is the owner personally puts in time to spend time with the clients at the center which to me is huge.. The staff is awesome and every single person that works for enlightened cares.. THEY CARE and want nothing but the best and success and to see their clients get clean and sober! I\'m now coming up on 8 months and my life is truly a blessing and they helped pave the way for me and for that I Am forever grateful to me they are like family finally New Jersey has a solution a place that cares for us. Thank you to all the staff at enlightened love you guys keep rocking!
