Our Simple
Admissions Process
Our admissions process is simple, supportive, and confidential—designed to make getting help as stress-free as possible. From your first call to your arrival, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Reach Out for Guidance
Connect With a Treatment Advisor
When you reach out to Guardian Recovery you’ll be connected directly with one of our compassionate Treatment Advisors. Each advisor is either in recovery themselves or has supported a loved one through the process, giving them a deep, personal understanding of what you’re experiencing. Our mission is to make this process simple, confidential, and judgment-free. If Guardian Recovery feels like the right fit, your advisor will guide you to the next step—the Pre-Assessment.
Learn What Care Fits Best
Complete a Pre-Screening
Our Treatment Advisors conduct a complimentary, in-depth assessment to gain a clear picture of you or your loved one’s needs. This confidential call helps us ensure that Guardian Recovery is the right fit and allows our team to begin building a personalized care plan.
During the pre-screening, we’ll discuss:
- Substance Use History
- Family and Medical Background
- Mental Health and Current Medications
- Past Treatment Experiences
- Personal Recovery Goals
Afterward, our clinical team reviews your information to craft a customized treatment plan.
Verify Insurance or Set Up Self-Pay
Create a Financial Plan
Finances should never stand in the way of getting help. Many health insurance plans cover all or most of the cost of treatment, and our team is here to help you understand your benefits clearly.
Insurance Options
We accept most major insurance providers, including UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and and many others. When you call, please have the following ready:
- Client’s full name and date of birth
- Insurance provider and policy number
- Type of plan
Our team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage in simple, transparent language. All information is handled with complete confidentiality under HIPAA regulations.
Self-Pay Options
For clients without insurance, we offer flexible self-pay options, including payment plans and zero-interest financing. Our advisors will work with you to find a solution that fits your needs.

Network of Programs
Guardian Recovery offers a full continuum of care between our facilities; including PHP, IOP, and Aftercare programs.
How long is the program?
Because treatment is highly individualized, costs can vary significantly. The best way to understand your specific expenses is to speak with one of our admissions representatives. They can answer your questions, verify your insurance benefits, and discuss payment options, ensuring you receive the support and information you need on your path to hope and healing.
Does my insurance cover treatment?
We work with most major insurers and offer free, no-obligation benefit checks. Our admissions team will verify your coverage and share coverage details with you. Please note that our facilities are not covered by Medicare.
Am I able to bring my phone, laptop, or tablet?
During detox, device access is restricted to support your recovery. However, special arrangements can be made for urgent business or personal needs. For self-employed clients, our executive program may allow device access during business hours when appropriate.
Will I have a private room?
We offer optional private bedrooms, available on a first-come, first-served basis, to provide added comfort and privacy during your stay.
Should I travel for treatment?
Seeking treatment away from home can reduce the temptation to leave early or relapse by removing you from familiar triggers. Princeton Detox & Recovery Center provides complimentary car service for local clients and offers sober escort services. Please note, transportation costs like airfare are the client’s responsibility.
What involvement can my family have?
At Guardian Recovery, we know that addiction can affect the whole family. We encourage family involvement and offer intervention services, case management, and family workshops to support healing for both our clients and their loved ones.
