Guardian Recovery's Founder
In the words of our founder, Josh Scott, Guardian Recovery’s story begins with a personal struggle. “I found my way into treatment at 22 years old,” Josh recalls. This challenging experience was pivotal, as it led to an encounter with a social worker who would guide him toward a life-changing treatment program. “I was resistant to treatment… but this social worker convinced my family that I needed help,” Josh shares. This marked the beginning of a journey not just towards his own recovery, but towards a broader mission of helping others.
After his experience at the treatment center, Josh felt a strong urge to contribute meaningfully in the field of addiction recovery. “From the very beginning of doing work in this space, I knew there was something sacred about providing care to a family and an individual struggling with addiction,” he states. This calling led him to start Guardian Recovery with a core philosophy: to offer the kind of care he would seek for himself or a family member.
