Types of Addiction Treatment
At Guardian Recovery we have multiple levels of care including medical detox, residential inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP). We understand this terminology can be new and confusing. Here are some brief descriptions of what each level of care entails:
- Medical Detox — This phase of recovery is the first vital step to getting on the road to recovery. If an individual has been abusing drugs or alcohol for any length of time, their body has become accustomed to operating with the substance . When this substance is suddenly yanked from the central nervous system, individuals experience a range of withdrawal symptoms that can be very uncomfortable, and even life-threatening, if not treated properly. Our medical detox offers 24/7 medical supervision, medication assisted treatment, therapy, holistic treatments (such as yoga, meditation and acupuncture), case management and aftercare planning. After an individual is physically stabilized (which can take anywhere between 3 to 14 days), we help them transfer into the next appropriate level of care to continue their journey of recovery.
- Residential Inpatient Treatment — Residential inpatient treatment is a form of treatment where young adults come to live in a residential treatment setting for approximately 30 to 90 days, depending on the severity of their addiction. This part of treatment involves a wide range of individual, family and group therapies, educational workshops, life-skills training, 12-step meetings and holistic treatment methods. At Guardian Recovery we also help individuals begin work in the 12 steps of recovery.
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — This term sounds scary, but we promise you it’s not. This level of care really means an individual spends part of their time in a treatment setting — attending therapy, workshops, etc. — and the other part of their time living in a beautiful sober-living home with a supportive community of individuals also new to recovery.
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) — This form of treatment is generally seen as the logical transition for individuals as they begin to be in the world again. Individuals can attend work or school while attending groups a few times a week and either living at home or in a sober living home. This form of treatment is typically entered after a medical detox or inpatient stay. However, for some individuals IOP may be an adequate stand-alone treatment option.
Which level of treatment to seek is sometimes a difficult question to answer. The answer depends on the severity of an individual’s addiction, their current life circumstances and what insurance coverage they may or may not have. Guardian Recovery’s compassionate and empathetic admissions staff are here to help answer all your questions and help you determine what path is right for you or your loved one. Contact us today.

Pine Tree Recovery Center
Pine Tree Recovery Center has quickly become the state’s premier drug and alcohol detox center, located in the heart of Portland, Maine. This branch of the Guardian Recovery community opened its doors in 2018 in response to the rising rates of substance abuse and dependence throughout the state. Our approach to medical detox not only rids the body of toxic, addictive substances but does so while prioritizing client safety and comfort. Pine Tree Recovery Center offers a range of specialized detox services, medical technologies and expertise that help our clients safely begin on the road to recovery. We treat symptoms associated with withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulant drugs and more while providing comprehensive addiction services including crisis intervention, case management, psychiatric assessments, physical evaluations, medication management services and aftercare planning. We believe that medically monitored detox should focus on more than physical stabilization. We prepare each of our clients for the next appropriate level of clinical care while introducing them to therapeutic recovery. We offer the following services and amenities as part of our comprehensive detox program:
- A low client-to-staff ratio
- Therapeutic services, including individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy
- Rehab placement services
- A combination of evidence-based detox methods, including tapering, Medication Assisted Treatment and intensive psychotherapy
- A nationally accredited detox program that consistently holds itself to the highest possible standards
- A range of homestyle retreat amenities including a fully stocked kitchen, private and semi-private bedrooms and well-appointed common areas
We have received positive reviews from our past guests. Natalie M. wrote:
“I’ve been all over the country and have experienced more types of detox and treatment facilities than I’d like to admit. Without a doubt, Pine Tree is the pinnacle of all facilities. Dr Tim, the head physician, is the most skilled, knowledgeable, compassionate and professional addiction specialist I’ve ever met. From a physical perspective, it was an incredibly smooth detox including a very slow taper that helped avoid that second crash that I’ve experienced in other medical detoxes. He also was incredibly patient and helpful in setting up (non-habit forming) pharmaceutical options to help with cravings and other issues typical in early recovery with aftercare planning. The clinical staff was exceedingly supportive and offered some of the most informative groups I’ve ever experienced… which is almost unheard of in detox. I was amazed. The entire staff was incredibly accommodating, competent, and empathetic. I highly recommend Pine Tree if you’re looking for a first step in the recovery journey.”
Princeton Detox and Recovery Center
At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center we offer a drug and alcohol detoxification program unlike any other throughout the Tri-State area or Southern Florida. Instead of a traditional hospital or “lock-down” facility, we provide clients with a relaxed homestyle retreat, combined with expert medical care and supervision. Our medical team is composed of licensed doctors and nursing staff with years of experience in drug and alcohol detoxification. Clients entering Princeton Detox can expect to be welcomed by a caring staff who fully understand substance use disorder and whose goal is to provide a safe and pain-free detox. Each client’s treatment plan is individualized to meet their needs including optional therapy, group support and case management services. We also offer amenities unlike most other programs such as a private chef, private rooms and well-appointed common areas in which clients can relax or socialize if they are feeling up to doing so.
We believe that family involvement is an important part of every phase of the addiction recovery process, from medical detox through aftercare. In addition to offering family therapy sessions which are facilitated by a licensed therapist, we encourage the loved ones of our clients to be as involved as they would like in developing a long-term treatment plan. Aftercare planning is only one of the services we provide. Other services include:
- Medication Assisted Treatment options and medication management
- A high client-to-staff ratio, which means more individualized and focused care
- Homestyle retreat amenities geared towards client comfort
- Individualized addiction assessments upon program admission
- A clinical program that is both licensed and accredited through the state of New Jersey
The men and women who have attended Princeton Detox have spoken about their positive experiences. K.B. said:
“Princeton exceeded my expectations and then some. The nurses, doctors, and staff were super compassionate and treated me like an individual and not a number. I wish I could go back and thank them personally. Food is great, and the facility is basically brand new.”
