Jennifer Hansen
CEO

My addiction took me to places I never imagined. I lived on the streets with a $300-a-day heroin habit. With dark circles under my eyes and track marks along my arms, I felt dead; my soul was gone. At the time, life seemed hopeless.
After several attempts at rehabilitation, I finally successfully detoxed at Seabrook House in Seabrook, NJ. I then entered a women's transitional facility in Southern California where, during my 3-month stay, I began to gather the tools I needed to live without drugs. I learned the simple life skills that are necessary to stay clean and obtain serenity in my life. I stayed in California for 2 & 1/2 years while working and participating in 12-step recovery before returning home to NJ.
I saw the need for something following the short term treatment that addicts were getting and began to pursue opening some housing for recovering addicts in NJ similar to what I experienced in California. So, here's what happened…
2001 - The Hansen Foundation, Inc. was formed.
2004 - Hansen House for Men opened with 34 bed capacity
2005 - Hansen House for Women opened with 34 bed capacity
2007 - Serenity House for Women opened with 11 beds
2008 - Serenity Meadows for Women opened with 10 beds
2012 - Randy Scarborough House for Men opened with 12 beds
2014 - Serenity Rose House for Women opened with 11 beds
2015 - Serenity Estates opened the first luxury sober living house for Women in NJ
2015 - September 15 - Enlightened Solutions opened with Partial Care, IOP & OP Treatment
2015 - Serenity Estates for Men opened with 14 beds
2015 - Hope Farm opened to the community to provide theraputic equine services
I have been drug-free for 20 years and along with continuing to keep recovery my #1 priority, I practice yoga regularly and believe in eating healthy and organic foods. We are what we eat after all and our body is really all we have so we better take good care of it! I am so excited to be able to incorporate all of what I have learned in my recovery for the benefit of those in Enlightened Solutions and all of the Serenity Houses.
