Jaclyn W. Princeton Psychiatry & Counseling · 5 months ago

“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.”

“Guardian was such a blessing! Changed my life. I’ve been to so many rehabs and this one was hands down the best I’ve ever had and I feel like I have such a higher chance of success because of the people that work there! The techs, the people that work in the front, the therapists, the nurses, and the AMAZING chefs are what makes this place the best imaginable choice for anyone that wants a real chance at sobriety. Thank you all so much!! Guardian will always have a special place in my heart!”

Haley D. Dallas Addiction Center · 3 months ago

“The staff is made of the most compassionate, kind, knowledgeable, warm, available, and trustworthy people, some have had the shoe on the other foot. They create a professional, safe, clean and welcoming environment. They always treat you kindly, while still maintaining a healthy space, so you can truly relax and become vulnerable and start healing your wounds. You will be respected and they care about you sincerely. Please come, I was sad to graduate from their program.”

George F. Saddle Brook Counseling Center · 8 months ago

“I have been in the recovery community of South Florida for a couple of years now, and I believe Immersion to be the best option for those struggling with addiction. It is an (unfortunately rare) ethical South-Florida treatment center run by good people. Their approach to treatment, and of utilizing the 12 steps in a residential environment gives patients a better chance to succeed than if they chose to go anywhere else. This makes all the difference. I wasted a lot of time trying to recover without the 12 steps— Immersion doesn’t allow you to fail that way. I have been extremely impressed by Immersion’s facilities, clinical approach, and network of alumni & staff in the South Florida recovery community. I would highly recommend sending your loved one to this place.”
