Questions people ask about Guardian Recovery
What levels of care does Guardian Recovery offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Fair Lawn is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Is detox part of what Guardian Recovery offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Paterson, 2.5 miles away.
What is there in Saddle Brook that costs nothing?
Saddle Brook has 3 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Which medications does Guardian Recovery prescribe?
They prescribe naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Saddle Brook offers both.
Does Guardian Recovery treat mental health as well?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Saddle Brook may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
How do I tell two programs apart?
Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.
Is treatment expensive?
It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.
Who answers the phone?
The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.
