Registration for admission typically begins over the phone. If itís more convenient, you may begin the process with our online pre-registration and one of our Admissions counselors will call you.
We Admit Daily
We admit daily from 8:00 - 5:00 pm. Residents must have someone drive them to High Watch. If needed, transportation can be arranged in advance for us to pick up the resident. Transportation to High Watch from the train or bus can also be arranged through us. View our directions.
Admission
Upon admission, our medical staff meets with the incoming resident to identify any medical issues of an emergency nature that need attention. All residents receive a complete physical and psychiatric evaluation for potential disorders including a review of family, interpersonal dynamics and current environmental stressors. An individualized treatment plan is created to address both the neurobiology of the addiction along with any co-occurring disorders.
A personal therapist is assigned to each resident for the length of their stay to help provide them with the tools and foundation to live sober after leaving High Watch.
