Guardian Recovery

Guardian Recovery’s philosophy is simple—provide clients with a program they would seek for themselves or a loved one. They meet clients exactly where they are, regardless of age, location, or stage of their recovery journey. In Guardian’s eyes, healing is a lifelong process, one that simply begins with treatment. Their national network of behavioral healthcare centers helps people develop into the strong, capable, and remarkable individuals they were meant to be.A Sacred CallingGuardian Recovery’s story begins with founder Josh Scott’s personal struggle. When a social worker guided him into a treatment program at 22, Scott was hesitant at first before ultimately pursuing recovery, sparking his mission to help others. “There was something sacred about providing care to a family and an individual struggling with addiction,” says Scott. This calling prompted Scott to found Guardian Recovery in order to offer others the kind of care he would seek for himself or a family member.Cutting-Edge Care That FitsGuardian Recovery provides unique paths to healing for addiction, mental health, and adolescents, with care spanning medical detox, residential treatment, and flexible partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. Their mental health services include cutting-edge therapies including Spravato and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, of particular benefit for people with treatment-resistant depression. Adolescent care features 1:1 staff support and addresses three sides of the same triangle: mental health, behavioral issues, and substance use. A focus on family features group sessions, collaborative home environment planning, and an ongoing dialogue with family members.Bringing Care to Every CommunityIn addition to their 22 treatment centers across 6 states, Guardian Recovery offers an online intensive outpatient program, making their substance use and mental health treatment accessible nationwide. By removing transportation or mobility barriers and expanding access, their virtual care ensures treatment is within more people’s reach, including underserved and rural communities.
