“Stephanie Pittaro is one of the best speech therapists I have had the pleasure of working with. The care she shows her clients is uniquely designed to show her skills and expertise to help them excel in their journey. Her ability to better the lives of children at such an impressionable age is very much appreciated. Honestly she can provide speech services to anyone. She has so much patience and dedication to really to help others. I would recommend her services to everyone in need of quality support that is one of a kind.”

“Guardian Recovery - Immersion Residential was a great experience for me. The staff is excellent and they took extra steps to make sure my detox would be safe and comfortable. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the facility was well maintained and staffed. If you are struggling with substance abuse and are worried about your health and safety trying to detox, give these guys a call. They can get you through to the other side.”

George F. Saddle Brook Counseling Center · 8 months ago

“If you are desperately lost in your addiction this is the place to come and get help. The staff are amazing and genuinely care about your recovery. I have been to several different places and found nothing but here I found love and support. The accommodations are exceptional…beautiful rooms and great food. It is the only place where I have found that their care and concern extends beyond your discharge. They check up on you and make sure that you are doing well and to find out if you need further help. You will not regret coming here!”

“Guardian IOP has been such an amazing experience for me. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the staff here. Tim, Kim and Tina have been absolutely wonderful. They have treated every single client with dignity and respect, regardless of their stories. I will carry all the tools and materials I have learned and obtained here for the rest of my life! I wish this was not ending for me but I am changing jobs and have to move 🙁 I would 150% recommend this program to anyone seeking sobriety/help. Truly a life changing program and experience! Much love, Peter Araps”
