High Watch Recovery Center ­­­­­­was established in 1940 as the world’s first 12 Step treatment center under significant guidance from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) co-founder Bill W. and other founding members. It is a leader in the treatment of alcoholism and substance abuse, dedicated to providing affordable, compassionate and effective care to those suffering from these chronic diseases. High Watch is a proven and unique, state of the art treatment program, integrating the time-tested spiritual teachings of the 12 Steps with the latest breakthroughs in addiction medicine to treat both the neurobiology of addiction and any co-occurring disorders (such as depression, anxiety or bi-polar disorder).
