“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.”

The staff always is ready to lend a hand and an ear for the residents even when you’re having a bad day. I’ll truly miss everyone here and I’m grateful for the experience I had here plus the beautiful caring staff that have been in the same shoes as the residents.”

“I was at the Denver center last year and I havta say that this place not only changed my life, but they saved my life! I came in not really knowing what to expect at first, but they helped me achieve something I was lacking when I came; and that was freedom from my addiction from fentanyl. I'm very proud to say that I'm now 1 year clean from fentanyl. Honestly I would be here if it wasn't for the amazing staff and the team of Doctors and nurses on hand. Courtney, Jamie, and Michelle, and yes you too Fillmore. I just want to express my gratitude to y'all and say a be heartfelt thank you for everything you guys did for me. I wouldn't be here today if not for y'all. I'm so grateful to be alive today. Again, thank you all so much and I love all the wonderful staff for what y'all did for me.”

“I can’t thank Guardian IOP enough for everything they have done for me. From the moment I walked in, Tina and Noel made me feel welcome, comfortable and at home. Throughout the weeks, I learned so much about addiction, recovery and myself. The entire staff is knowledgeable, patient and they genuinely care about each and every person there. They fully invest themselves in you and help guide you every step of the way. It truly feels like a family there. This program has helped me to change and grow into a better person and will forever be grateful for this experience.”

“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.”
