High Watch Recovery Center has a rich history of being the first drug and alcohol treatment center in the world founded on the 12 Step principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. Our culture of compassionate care, dignity and respect for others is a tribute to our founder, Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder, Bill Wilson.

We are dedicated to healing those suffering from the chronic illness of drug and alcohol addiction. Our ability to deliver proven, effective treatment for substance abuse lies in what we call our unique High Watch Program. We integrate the latest breakthroughs in addiction medicine, for the treatment of both the neurobiology of addiction and any co-occurring disorders, into the time tested spiritual teachings of Alcoholics Anonymous. Our experienced licensed therapists are skilled at diagnosing and treating any underlying issues that might interfere with one’s ability to stay sober.
