“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’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.”

“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.”
