About Guardian Recovery - New Brunswick Counseling Center
Guardian Recovery - New Brunswick Counseling Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, offers a holistic approach to treating both mental health disorders and substance abuse. Their programs combine evidence-based therapies, holistic modalities, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options to provide comprehensive care. Clients benefit from a range of services, including individual therapy, group sessions, and family therapy, all designed to address the complex interplay between mental health and addiction.
Flexible Treatment
Understanding that recovery is not one-size-fits-all, Guardian IOP provides flexible treatment options to suit various needs. They offer a 3-stage program to evaluate each client’s condition, delve deep into skill-building, and plan for long-term recovery. For clients who require additional assistance, they offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and can help coordinate higher levels of care when necessary.
Innovative Therapies and Skill-Building
At Guardian, treatment goes beyond traditional talk therapy. The program incorporates mind-body approaches like guided yoga, stress management workshops, and creative art therapies. These holistic methods complement evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy and relapse prevention training. Clients with addiction also begin 12-Step work to provide a sense of spirituality and peer accountability.
Community-Focused Aftercare
Guardian’s approach to recovery extends beyond the treatment period, so the team places a strong emphasis on aftercare planning. Their case managers work closely with clients to develop personalized aftercare strategies, which may include ongoing therapy, 12-Step program involvement, and continued holistic practices.
