I need to add that many of the "guests" with me had been in numerous like facilities in the past. Obviously with negative or temporary results. That would have also been me had I not surrendered to the fact that I could never win the fight and let myself follow what has worked so many times for countless others. The program offered did not allow for it failing me, but I could fail it if I allowed myself.
The people who work at High Watch Recovery are amazing. They're passionate about helping others, professional and sincere. If you're looking for that starting point to change your life around, this is the place!
My initial couple of days were dominated with visits to the fine medical staff to ensure I was healthy and able to move forward. The nursing station and MD appointments are a constant with good cause. These addictions are deadly.
When I went to HW after probably 25 years of alcohol struggles, two things were in my mind. 1: I would never be able to beat alcoholism, and 2: I would completely let go of my control and open myself to the program and willing to let my higher power take over.
The men in my dorm still talk or chat daily thru group chats or calls. We will forever have a bond in that we all survived what surely was destined to kill us. I'd always been skeptical about these facilities as I've looked at the failure rate as being too high. I no longer feel that way. At least with High Watch, we were given a structure that supports a sober life and all the tools we need to carry that gift forward.
I had constant professional support and guidance. I saw my therapist at least twice a week and he (Steve) cut right through the BS and was the most helpful therapist I've ever seen. Every aspect of the services offered were top notch. But they had to be taken and taken seriously. Many "classes" were optional that you could pass on in lieu of another or reading, sleeping, field trips or going to the gym.
I was a guest at High Watch in early 2017, it was by far the most transformative experience of my life. The staff, the food, the rooms, everything was top notch. I would recommend High Watch to anyone who is serious about getting sober.
I was a guest at high watch 6 months ago--it was exactly what i needed to start my journey in to recovery. My therapist was amazing and the focus on AA has helped me stay sober all this time. Everything from the rooms, the food, the groups, the AA meetings, the amazing friendly staff who all really seem to understand addiction if they arent in recovery themselves though most seem to be. Thank you so much to high watch for showing me a life i didnt think was possible.
I could only liken the food to being on a high end cruise. The food was amazing with numerous options. I heard the average 30 day weight gain was in the area of 20 lbs.
A lifesaver, but only if you let it be.
HWRC is an incredibly serene place. I was able to take a pause and learn how to manage life on life's terms. I'm eternally grateful for my experience and thankful for the amazing staff and therapist who helped me along my journey.
After a few days I was a different person. I had realistic hope and confidence was building by the minute.
