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.
