Consistent, Comprehensive Programming
Guardian’s virtual programs address the multifaceted nature of addiction, focusing on emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual health.

Regular drug testing supports recovery goals, as well as a weekly family support group and step-down options for ongoing individual and group sessions. 24/7 support is available for emergencies or urgent care needs.
Long-Term Recovery Tools
Guardian offers educational workshops focused on educating clients about addiction, mental health, and strategies for maintaining recovery. Clients receive aftercare planning to help maintain sobriety and prevent relapse in the long term.
