Guardian Intensive Outpatient Program – New Brunswick

The Guardian Recovery Network (GRN) offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for individuals suffering from substance use disorder. This program typically lasts 8 to 10 weeks and can be used as a stand-alone treatment option or as a compliment to a recently completed inpatient program. The IOP consists of 3-5 hours of daily individual and group therapy 3-5 days a week and is divided into three stages.

Additionally, Guardian Recovery provides specialized age- and gender-specific treatment programs that address the recovery needs of the individual. Each treatment plan is custom-made and includes individual and group therapy, life skills training, vocational training, yoga, eastern medicine, 12-Step facilitation, and more. Treatment is overseen by a staff of experienced medical and clinical professionals. All programs are fully accredited to ensure a high standard of care.
