What Our Clients Say
“This program is truly amazing, thanks to Amanda M. She (as well as all the other providers) truly cares about each client, and puts in genuine effort to help every person meet their goals and make it through their hard times. While I entered the program during one of my darkest times, I'm leaving in a much healthier headspace, better than I could have hoped for. If you're struggling, I could not recommend this program more.”

Mark, Alyson, Jordyn, Valentina (All of them) are just such a pleasure to be with. I’m making so much progress and just really appreciate the work they do there. Can’t recommend this place enough!!”
Read full review on Google ↗“Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first time in a detox/rehab facility. But after this experience (detox) wise, I’ve never experienced such care medically, emotionally and physically. The staff actually treat you like human being’s because most of them are in recovery too. They laughed with me, listened and did the best they could without any judgment. Even when things were out if their control, they still tried to help. Of course no place is perfect and I understand that. I had the chance to make some grievances about things I didn’t feel that were appropriate. Once I filled out the form, the clinical director met with me the next day. She not only heard me, but she listened to me. That meant a lot and showed that they truly strive to be the best. Fingers crossed I won’t go down the road I have been, but if I do, this is where I’m going. I haven’t been appreciative with a facility like this ever. They care. You just have to do your part in wanting help.”

Avery was incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely cared about helping me through the process. They took the time to answer my questions, offered encouragement, and made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. Their compassion and professionalism truly stood out. If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated with respect and supported every step of the way, I highly recommend Guardian Recovery. Thank you, Avery, for making such a positive difference.”

Adrian was one of the staff members that made a positive impact on my family member. I also found Adrian went above and beyond to get all our questions answered. I recommend this facility.”

What Our Clients Say
“Thank you Guardian for giving me The tools I needed to get my life back. I am able to do things today that I was never able to do before and never dreamed that I would be able to do. Thank you to all the staff for the love and support. Thank you to the cooks and the therapists. You all are amazing people and are doing a job like no other can.”
Read full review on Google ↗“Before I called I was very nervous about rehab in general. The person you answered the phone was really great. He was not pushy, and just educated me about what my experience would be like at Pine Tree. I ended up going, and getting a lot out of detox and residential”
Read full review on Google ↗“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Guardian Recovery for everything they did for my son and our family. From the moment he entered the program, the care, professionalism, and compassion shown by the staff were truly exceptional. I especially want to thank Robert, the family therapist, along with Leni and Catherine. They were all incredible — not only with my son, but also with me as a parent. My son went there seeking help, and he truly received it. He is healed, set free, and in recoverd. Thank the Lord. I am forever grateful. Guardian Recovery emphasizes structure, discipline, and accountability in the best way possible. The kids wake up on their own, make their beds, take their medications responsibly, attend the gym in the mornings, and earn points for completing chores and following the program. This structure made a huge difference for my son. Before treatment, he resisted taking medication. Now, he comes to me and says, “Ma, give me the meds.” That alone speaks volumes. My son genuinely enjoyed his experience. He learned a lot, feels good about himself, and left the program feeling happy and content. He said the facility feels more like a hotel than a hospital — very clean, comfortable, and homey. He loved the food too! They offered meals teenagers actually enjoy, like Jersey Mike’s, pizza, and Chinese food. He also really liked the group therapy sessions and found them helpful. As a parent, I felt very supported. The staff was attentive and kept in contact with me. Robert was truly a blessing — an angel sent from heaven. We had family therapy sessions every Wednesday morning, and evening group sessions with other parents, which were incredibly helpful and reassuring, especially during the holidays. Another huge plus was academics. My son is a senior, and Guardian Recovery made sure to coordinate with his school counselor so he could continue his schoolwork. That gave me so much peace of mind. The program can last up to six weeks. I chose to take my son home earlier due to Christmas and personal goals, but even in that shorter time, the impact was life-changing. Honestly, I did not find any negatives. If I had to suggest anything, it would be more frequent daily updates — but even then, the communication we did have was excellent. I truly hope I never have to use these services again, but if I ever do, Guardian Recovery would be my top choice. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a safe, structured, and caring place for their child to heal and recover. Thank you, Guardian Recovery. 10 out of 10.”

I had completely given up on even the possibility of a normal, let alone a "good" life. In all honesty I had been planning my suicide for months. Within weeks your staff and community had shown me that such a life is possible. You all not only saved my life but showed me a new one is not only possible but fully within my reach. I owe you all a debt I will never be able to fully repay and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. From the moment Dom did my intake I felt welcomed. Talking to Ryan, Ana and Dwayne was super helpful and made me feel at home during a very emotionally fragile time. The entire staff here gives a shit about their clients and that makes a world of difference. My therapist Anuska was a joy to talk to and helped me with any problem I needed to talk yo her about. Larry, Donna, Anastasia, Marissa and the rest ofnthe staff and techs made my stay and transition to recovery as easy as possible. Recovery Unplugged is truly a beacon of light to those lost in the sea of addiction and it is the staff that make that light shine. You all are saving lived here as sure as any hospital emergency room. I will recommend this place to all I meet lost at sea. A special shootout to Namania, Tiffany and Ana for running a tight ship crewed by heroes. Yours very truly. Mattheau Coburn”
Read full review on Google ↗“It’s hard to explain how much of a gift Guardian was for me. I never thought I’d ever walk into a mental health IOP, but my depression was equally as unexpected. My resistance to group therapy disappeared faster than I expected, because Guardian made me feel understood. Guardian pulled me out of waters I was close to drowning in. Their program kept me accountable, taught me things I didn’t even realize I needed, and gave me tools that allowed me to find myself again. They helped me open up about things I had buried without realizing, and they saw strength in me at a time when I couldn’t see any in myself. Every therapist, counselor, and staff member made me feel safe, validated, and genuinely cared for in a way I’ll never forget. They became the support system I didn’t even realize I needed. If anyone needs help, needs strength, needs Hope.. give yourself the gift of Guardian. I dove in headfirst, let go of judgment for myself, and soaked in everything they offered. And because of that, I’m standing where I am today. Guardian - a name that truly reflects what this program has been for me. A place I know, if need be, I can always return to, to find my way. So thank you. So much. My gratitude to each one of you and the program as a whole is endless. Sending all of my love xo”
