– Heroin
– Fentanyl
– Benzodiazepines or “Benzos” (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan, etc)
– Prescription opioids & opiates (Oxycontin, Percocet – or “Percs”, Vicodin, Tramadol, etc)

Recovery is about more than just quitting substances. True healing means understanding the root causes of addiction, addressing underlying emotional pain, and developing the tools to create a stable, fulfilling future.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Substance Use Disorder

1. Personalized Treatment Plans

At Guardian Recovery, we customize every treatment plan based on each person’s experiences, triggers, and recovery goals. Whether you’ve been through rehab before or this is your first step toward change, your path will be uniquely yours.

2. Dual-Diagnosis Care for Co-Occurring Disorders

Many people struggling with addiction are also battling anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health concerns. These emotions may have led to substance use in the first place or developed as a result of it. Our dual-diagnosis treatment approach ensures that both addiction and mental health challenges are addressed together.

3. Holistic Recovery Programs

We believe in whole-person healing, which is why our rehab program integrates traditional therapies with holistic approaches such as:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional balance and distress tolerance.
Trauma-Informed Care to process past wounds that may have fueled substance use.
Art and Music Therapy to help clients express emotions they can’t put into words.
Mindfulness and Meditation to cultivate inner peace and stress management skills.

4. A Safe, Supportive Environment

Recovery is hard enough—you shouldn’t have to do it in an environment that feels cold or clinical. At Guardian Recovery, we provide a structured yet compassionate setting where clients can focus entirely on healing without external stressors.

What to Expect During Treatment

Walking through the doors of rehab for the first time is often overwhelming. The fear of the unknown, the doubt that whispers, What if I can’t do this?—it’s normal. That’s why our team ensures every client feels safe, welcomed, and supported from day one.

Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment & Individualized Plan

We begin with a one-on-one assessment to determine the best course of treatment based on your history, substance use patterns, and personal goals.

Step 2: Drug Detox

For many individuals with moderate to severe substance use disorder, the first step of addiction treatment starts at our Dallas drug detox center. There, physical symptoms of withdrawal are treated & controlled under medical supervision. This is particular critical for benzodiazepines, which can cause life threatening withdrawal symptoms without medical supervision. Individuals struggling with opioid use also typically require medical detox to prevent painful withdrawal symptoms or dehydration.

Step 3: Therapy & Support

Each day in treatment is structured with a mix of individual therapy, group support, and skill-building activities to help clients:

Develop healthy coping mechanisms to handle stress and cravings.
Build self-awareness and emotional resilience to navigate daily life in recovery.
Repair and strengthen relationships through guided family therapy and communication workshops.

Step 4: Relapse Prevention & Life Skills Training

Leaving rehab can be intimidating, but we prepare clients for real-life challenges through:

Relapse prevention planning tailored to each person’s unique triggers.
Practical life skills development like financial planning, career counseling, and healthy routine-building.
Guidance on rebuilding trust with loved ones and creating a strong support network.

Transitioning to Long-Term Recovery

A common fear among those leaving rehab is, What happens next? That’s where aftercare comes in. Recovery is a lifelong process, and we ensure every individual has the tools to maintain stability, accountability, and connection long after treatment ends.

Long-Term Recovery Support Includes:

Comprehensive Aftercare Services to provide continued guidance.
Ongoing Therapy & Peer Support Groups to reinforce accountability and progress.
Sober Living Referrals for those needing a structured environment.
Alumni Support Programs to stay engaged in a recovery-focused community.

Understanding the Impact of Substance Use

What Does Substance Use Really Feel Like?

Addiction isn’t just about the substance—it’s about the pain, fear, and desperation that often come with it. It’s the feeling of waking up in the morning and wondering how you got here. It’s promising yourself, This is the last time, only to find yourself caught in the same cycle hours later. It’s watching opportunities slip away and sensing the growing distance between you and the people who care about you.

Substance Use Disorder is not a failure—it is a medical condition. Addiction affects brain chemistry, decision-making, and emotional regulation, making it difficult to stop without the right support. For many, it starts as a way to cope with stress, trauma, or mental health struggles, only to become a cycle that feels impossible to break.

How Addiction Affects Your Mind, Body & Relationships

Physically – Chronic fatigue, withdrawal symptoms, changes in appetite, or a reliance on substances just to feel “normal.”
Emotionally – Increased anxiety, depression, guilt, and a feeling of being trapped in an endless loop of self-destruction.
Socially – Broken trust, missed events, and a sense of isolation, as addiction slowly creates distance from family, friends, and loved ones.

With the right treatment, support, and strategies, recovery is possible.
