We invite you to contact us to learn more about this program and its details.
Equine Therapy
Equine-assisted therapy is an experiential learning process that involve activities with horses to promote human physical and mental health. The goal of equine therapy is to help the participant develop needed skills to become more emotionally agile. Guests are offered a group equine experience: Our program consists of four three hour sessions over two weeks. Individual equine therapy sessions are also available.
Intervention Services
We at High Watch often observe that individuals who are clearly in need of treatment are unable to see it. People who struggle with addiction are often in denial about their situation and unwilling to seek help. They may not recognize the negative effects their behavior has on themselves and others. Family members want to help their loved one but that individual may not be receptive. We can help in these situations by assisting with a formal intervention. An intervention presents your loved one with a structured opportunity to make changes before things get even worse, and it can motivate him or her to seek or accept help.
Continuum of Care
High Watch is home to a fully working farm that is the centerpiece of our Intensive Outpatient Program. It is currently home to both our men’s and women’s IOP program, HOPE House. This outstanding program is available to guests who have completed their residential stay with us and who wish to continue their recovery at High Watch. Located on lover 100 acres of land, the HOPE House farm includes a horse and sheep pasture, horse stalls, and acres of gardens.
Detox Services
For most individuals seeking addiction treatment, detox is the first step to breaking the physical and psychological hold that a substance has on their system. Withdrawing from drugs or alcohol can be a dangerous and even life-threatening process, and is best done under medical supervision. When an individual’s body becomes dependent on a substance, quitting cold turkey can cause their system to shut down. In a medically-supervised detox program, a caring medical team will oversee the withdrawal process, providing necessary medications and emotional support to ease symptoms and stabilize vitals.
Sober Living
Eden Hill's Transitional Living program serves as a bridge between Inpatient Substance Use Recovery Treatment and the abrupt return home. With a typical length of stay between four and six months, our residents return home with more confidence and an increased likelihood to build long-term recovery. During a woman's time at Eden Hill we are committed to helping translate skills learned in initial inpatient treatment into real life experience.
