Frances L. Saddle Brook Counseling Center · 8 months ago

“I’m truly thankful for the care my daughter received at Guardian Adolescent Recovery. During a very difficult time for my family, their team showed compassion, patience, and genuine support every step of the way. They made me feel heard, supported, and hopeful again. The only thing I didn’t like was the limited communication calls were only allowed twice a week at the beginning, there wasn’t much flexibility for additional contact. The environment was supportive and focused on helping adolescents heal and grow, both emotionally and mentally. It is clear that the team genuinely cares about the well being and success of each individual. I highly recommend Guardian Adolescent Recovery to any family seeking support for their child. Their dedication and commitment truly make a difference. My daughter left Guardian Recovery with all her services in place. Thank you Nina, Lenimar, Bob, Liz, Alejandra and all the other staff.”

“The staff is very loving, supportive, and motivating. I am approaching two months sober and a key factor that contributed to my growth process with the soar fit program and structure of New Pathways. I am not only motivated to complete the IOP but also the OP program than come back and share my message of hope and strength. Special shout outs to trainer Shannon, Therapists Michael, Ana, Julia, front desk Janel. Keep doing what you all do best which is changing lives for the better each day.”

John B. New Pathway Paramus · 11 months ago

“I would recommend Guardian for anyone who is serious about recovery and wants to live an amazing, fulfilled life, free from drugs and alcohol. I used for 25 years and tried to get sober many other ways, but their program gave me strength, hope, and a clear path to sobriety and peace. The staff are absolutely incredible, caring, and truly want to help people free themselves from misery, as they have all been there themselves. I was terrified to go to treatment and didn't think it would work, but I'm grateful every day that I went and followed the suggestions that were given to me. I felt hopeless before going in and now I live a purposeful life filled with peace and joy. A huge thank you to the whole team over at Guardian. You guys saved my life!”

“Julie is always warm and welcoming up front when you walk in. The way we exercise and do meditation is unlike any other program I've been in and really helps with addiction. 1:1 therapy and psych doctors really help as well. Great program.”

Christopher H. Guardian Recovery · a year ago

“We are very grateful for the care my mother received. Every home health aide who worked with our family was kind, careful, compassionate, and respectful to both of my parents. No matter which aide was caring for my mother, we felt confident that she was receiving excellent and attentive care. We also had a very positive experience with the office staff. Everyone we spoke with was consistently kind, courteous, responsive, and helpful. Our family truly appreciates the care and support that was provided to my mother and to my father during a very important time for both of them.”
