“This place is great!!! The have amazing staff, amazing chiefs, amazing groups and amazing therapists, amazing medical staff and amazing case managers. Look truthfully if you’re willing to change your life and get sober you need to be involved and let your higher power guide you. I have nothing negative to say about this place. They helped me through things I didn’t think I could move forward. Give yourself a chance and give them a chance you will never regret coming here cause I know I haven’t.”

“I recently finished the program here, and it was fantastic.. I was never able to stay sobor and today i reached my 10 months of sobriety. I did residential here which was great the place is gorgeous! I really liked the fact how they did not keep you trapped inside the entire stay... You get to go to the gym/park/beach/movies/bowling! They also guide you through the big book in depth, which was different then other treatment centers. After I completed residential I did the follow up programs of PHP/IOP. I recommend all.”

“Walking through the doors for recovery is one of the scariest things. Right away the staff was welcoming, kind, and very supportive. Throughout my stay every team within Curawest was helpful. Everyone was well knowledgeable, in all areas. From the front lines/Bhts, case management, and therapists, I was provided the best level of care. Curawest is a very safe place, and always provided groups and therapy to help with not only detoxing, but helping to provide tools for prolonged recovery and sobriety. I highly recommend Curawest as a number 1 place to receive care and treatment for substance use!!”

“Guardian IOP has been such an amazing experience for me. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the staff here. Tim, Kim and Tina have been absolutely wonderful. They have treated every single client with dignity and respect, regardless of their stories. I will carry all the tools and materials I have learned and obtained here for the rest of my life! I wish this was not ending for me but I am changing jobs and have to move 🙁 I would 150% recommend this program to anyone seeking sobriety/help. Truly a life changing program and experience! Much love, Peter Araps”

“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.”
