About Guardian Recovery - Virtual Counseling
Guardian Virtual is an online intensive outpatient program (IOP) using the Sober Peer mobile health app. It provides a convenient alternative that allows individuals to participate in theIOP from the comfort of their own homes. Their virtual services are currently available to clients in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey, Colorado, and Florida.
Real Clinical Team Alongside AI Technology
Designed to mirror in-person care, Guardian Virtual offers a fully immersive treatment experience using AI technology alongside real, licensed clinical staff. Their program provides a seamless continuum of care, creating an environment that feels more like entering a treatment center than logging into an online meeting. The program includes medication management, psychiatric visits, drug testing, and innovative features like a breathalyzer connecting to the client’s cellphone and geofencing to mark high-risk locations.
Consistent, Comprehensive Programming
Guardian Virtual’s IOP addresses the multifaceted nature of addiction, focusing on emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual health. Clients participate in 4 group sessions per week, as well as a weekly individual session to personalize treatment plans and set goals. Group and individual therapy sessions cover topics such as relapse prevention, life skills training, and holistic practices like mindfulness and yoga. Regular drug testing supports recovery goals, as well as a weekly family support group and a step-down outpatient program for ongoing individual and group sessions. 24/7 support is available for emergencies or urgent care needs.
Long-Term Recovery Tools
Guardian Virtual 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.

The virtual treatment model also helps prevent individuals from disengaging with treatment prematurely, thereby improving long-term outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse. The affordability and potential coverage by national health insurance policies make this virtual program a cost-effective alternative to traditional residential care.
