About High Watch Recovery Center
High Watch Recovery Center was established in 1939 as the world’s first 12-Step treatment center. Since then, High Watch has led thousands of clients from the grip of alcohol and drug addiction to the freedom of recovery. They offer inpatient, intervention services, an extended care program, IOP, transitional sober living for women, and aftercare support. For clients who require a more flexible schedule, High Watch additionally offers online Telehealth IOP and AA meetings. Each client in the inpatient program receives an individual bio-psycho-social evaluation to create an customized treatment plan that’s right for their needs. Each client is assigned an experienced 12-Step coach to work with in a one on one setting. High Watch has an Empowering Women in Recovery group designed to help women recognize and honor their strength and resiliency and explore ways to parlay those into their recovery journey. Topics include breaking the chain of low self-esteem, increasing self-care, practicing boundary setting, and addressing the specific challenges women in recovery face. High Watch also has a 50+ group to discuss the unique challenges clients 50 and older face in life and recovery such as relationships with adult children and grandchildren, loss of spouses, retirement, health related issues which are part of the aging process, facing one’s own mortality, and how they view their future. Finally, High Watch has a Relationships in Recovery group designed to provide clients the opportunity to explore how to make and maintain healthy relationships.
Mission & Vision
High Watch Recovery Center was founded by AA giants Bill Wilson and Marty Mann as the first 12-Step based drug and alcohol treatment facility in the world. High Watch has remained steadfast in its dedication to its rich AA history while concurrently expanding to include a robust array of trauma-informed clinical services, including evidence-based treatment modalities targeting each guest’s individualized symptoms and particular needs. High Watch is unwaveringly devoted to providing its guests with compassionate care and a deep understanding of the ways in which every individual can achieve sustainable recovery through an integration of 12-Step and clinically-based practices and principles, ultimately leading to full, healthy, sober lives. In addition, High Watch is committed to the development, public awareness, and support for the education of others about the disease of addiction.
