We are building Northwest New Jersey’s most trusted outpatient recovery platform.
Enlighten Recovery provides structured, compassionate, court-aware, and insurance-accessible outpatient recovery services to adults in Sussex, Morris, and Warren Counties. We combine clinical integrity, practical scheduling, technology-enabled access, measurable outcomes, and respectful community-based care so people can rebuild their lives while staying connected to work, family, and community.
Five values, written down so we can be held to them.
Clinical integrity
Treatment decisions are based on assessment, medical necessity, ASAM criteria, and professional judgment — not on census pressure, payer mix, or referral source.
Accountability with dignity
Clients are treated with respect while held to meaningful participation, attendance, and recovery goals. Compassion and structure, not one or the other.
Speed of access
Calls are answered quickly, assessments are scheduled rapidly, and families are not left waiting. The first 72 hours decide whether someone gets the help they reached out for.
Operational excellence
The company runs on documented systems, clean schedules, reliable communication, and measurable results. Boring discipline is the work.
Community trust
We earn referrals through responsiveness, compliance, outcomes, and professionalism — not through favors, kickbacks, or promises we cannot keep.
The people responsible.
Dave Gray
Dave leads capital strategy, legal strategy, governance, risk oversight, and referral relationship development. His background as an attorney shapes how Enlighten positions itself in the New Jersey legal community — as a serious, court-aware referral partner that handles documentation, releases, and reporting boundaries correctly.
Douglas Patrick
Douglas leads facility operations, intake workflow, scheduling, staffing coordination, vendor management, daily census tracking, patient flow, and SOP execution. He is the reason your appointment runs on time and the reason the same answer comes out of the same phone call every time.
Mauricio Fernandez
Mauricio leads the website, SEO, CRM, call tracking, online scheduling, dashboards, marketing automation, secure communications, and the cybersecurity controls that protect every record we hold. The systems are designed so that compliance is the default, not a chore.
Clinical Director
This role is required before admissions begin. We will name our Clinical Director publicly when the hire is confirmed. They will hold LCADC or other licensed clinical credentialing per New Jersey Administrative Code 10:161B. We would rather be honest about an open seat than fill it with a name on a wall.
Three sites, opened in order.
Augusta, NJ
On the Route 206 corridor in Augusta — central to Sussex County, minutes from the Newton courts, with ground-floor access and parking at the door.

Opening after Site 1 earns it.
We will open our Morris County site after Site 1 meets our internal operating gates: a stable census, an 85% group attendance rate, a 50%+ assessment-to-admission conversion rate, a 90%+ clean claims rate, six months of cash reserve, and ten or more producing monthly referral sources. We will not open Site 2 to chase growth — we will open it when Site 1 has earned it.
A lean satellite, later.
A lean satellite serving Warren County, western Morris, and nearby Sussex demand. Opens after Site 2 stabilizes.
