George F. Saddle Brook Counseling Center · 9 months ago

“The Plymouth House was a vital part in my recovery, through my time as a guest there in residential and PHP. I was able to build bonds that will last a lifetime and learn things about myself I didn’t know were possible or I was capable of. The staff gave me the tools I needed to find myself again and grow into the individual I want to be and continue to build on that in life in general. I am forever grateful for what the Plymouth House has given to me, my family and the rest of the people I care about in life, by helping me show up as the best version of myself I could ask for.”

Christine S. Immersion Outpatient · 3 months ago

“I recently finished the program here, and it was fantastic.. I was never able to stay sobor and today i reached my 10 months of sobriety. I did residential here which was great the place is gorgeous! I really liked the fact how they did not keep you trapped inside the entire stay... You get to go to the gym/park/beach/movies/bowling! They also guide you through the big book in depth, which was different then other treatment centers. After I completed residential I did the follow up programs of PHP/IOP. I recommend all.”

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.”
