Guardian Recovery - Pine Tree provides detox, residential treatment, and outpatient levels of care for addiction and mental health disorders. They use a multi-pronged approach with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol or opioid addiction, evidence-based therapies, holistic care, and support groups, most of which are gender-specific. Pine Tree employs licensed doctors, therapists, and nurses to offer clients an in-depth recovery experience. Treatment begins with thorough medical, psychosocial, and psychological evaluations. Clients also have their own case manager, who manages and tailors treatment to unique needs.

Medically Monitored Detox and Residential Treatment

Pine Tree’s clinical team monitors detox and administers medications for greater safety and comfort if needed or desired. Detox typically lasts 3-7 days, though the total time depends on each client. Detoxing begins on the 1st floor of Pine Tree’s facility. Clients have the option of a private room during detox and residential care, with on-site chefs preparing nutritious meals throughout the process. After residential treatment, clients can begin IOP on the 2nd floor.

Intensive Outpatient and Therapeutic Care

Intensive outpatient (IOP) care at Pine Tree Recovery lasts for 8 weeks. Sessions take place on site, Monday-Thursday. Clients attend IOP for 3 hours, with times available in the morning, afternoon, and evening. They begin 12-Step work during IOP, helping clients build community and relapse prevention skills. Pine Tree Recovery can arrange travel to their center and provides meals for IOP clients. If they don’t have one already, IOP clients are also assigned a case manager. Virtual outpatient services are also available.

Recover in a Comfortable Setting

Pine Tree Recovery prioritizes comfort and safety during treatment. They offer optional private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and comfortable lounge areas. Their group sizes in IOP stay small for a more intimate experience, with each group welcoming 12 clients at a time. Pine Tree Recovery also offers a family program, with psychoeducational workshops and support through case management.

Personalized Detox, Residential Treatment, and Aftercare Services
Personalized Detox, Residential Treatment, and Aftercare Services
The medical and psychological evaluations Pine Tree provides help customize detox and residential treatment to each clients’ circumstance. The clinicians at Pine Tree use the results of each evaluation to guide treatment throughout detox, residential, and into aftercare. During detox, clients receive attentive monitoring and medication-assisted treatment as needed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
3-Module IOP
3-Module IOP
Pine Tree Recovery offers clients a structured IOP with 3 modules: 12-Step Implementation in Daily Life, a Clinical module, and a Health and Wellness module. Their modules focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit, with therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing techniques. Their final module emphasizes wellness with activities like yoga, Reiki, breathwork, and meditation.
Case Management Services
Case Management Services
Pine Tree assigns each client a case manager. Case managers walk through treatment with their client, communicating between their treatment team and answering questions or concerns. Case managers also facilitate aftercare, whether clients transition into Pine Tree Recovery’s outpatient programs or go elsewhere for further care.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Pine Tree uses trauma-informed care to help heal the underlying causes of addiction. Their therapists use therapies like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), 1:1 care, and trauma-focused group therapies focusing on trauma. Pine Tree’s relapse prevention workshops can help clients recognize why past trauma might affect their recovery and give them the tools to overcome challenges as they arise.
Care Options

Levels of Care

Substance use and mental health issues can occur simultaneously or as primary conditions. Effective treatment explores how mental health conditions contribute to addiction, and vice-versa. Many rehabs treat substance use disorders and mental health conditions with personalized care plans.
Residential
Residential programs for substance use and mental health with structured care and 24/7 monitoring. Treatment takes place on-site, with behavioral health professionals often providing care in group, individual, and family settings.
Sober Living
Not Offered at This Center
Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.
Co-Occurring Disorders
Substance use and mental health can occur simultaneously as co-occurring disorders. Treatment for co-occurring disorders involves therapy and other personalized interventions to address both conditions.

As someone who’s been through multiple detox and rehab facilities over many years, Pine Tree Recovery was without question the best experience I’ve ever had. To start, the food they serve is absolutely incredible morning, noon and night. The nurses, counselors, administrators… everyone at Pinetree is compassionate, caring, and ready to help people in their greatest moment of need. If one of my loved ones ever need help, they’ll be going to Pine Tree!

Though it was not my first time at a detox facility, I was still incredibly nervous and afraid of the uncomfortableness of what I knew was to come. Shame, sleepless nights, irritability, anxiety; the list goes on. Pine Tree staff and amenities took care of me to ensure I could get through those tough initial stages. I am so grateful to have gone there!
