“​I can't say enough about my experience at Guardian Intensive Outpatient Program - New Brunswick. From day one, the support, compassion, and guidance I received were truly life-changing. I want to give a huge shoutout to my therapist, Angelique—her dedication, insight, and encouragement made all the difference in my journey. A special thank you as well to James, Courtney, Amanda, Adrienne, Gabby, Leanne, and Ignacio—every counselor and staff member here genuinely cares about the well-being of their clients, and it shows in everything they do. The program is structured to provide accountability and a sense of community, which I needed. If you're looking for a place where you can feel supported, understood, and empowered, Guardian IOP is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking real and lasting change.”

“Julie is always warm and welcoming up front when you walk in. The way we exercise and do meditation is unlike any other program I've been in and really helps with addiction. 1:1 therapy and psych doctors really help as well. Great program.”

“The Plymouth House is a beautiful facility where all and I mean ALL the staff have your best interest at heart. I’m a chronic relapser who is tired of coming to treatment. The clinical team works hand in hand with recovered 12-Step staff to bring the clients closer to the truth in what keeps addiction rolling. I’m extremely optimistic for my future having graduated from Plymouth House. 10/10 - Would send my loved ones here if they suffered from the disease of addiction like I do.”

“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.”
