Essential Group Therapy and Discussion
High Watch offers a number of group therapy options designed to meet the individual needs of our diverse community of guests.
Empowering Women in Recovery is a group designed to help women recognize and honor their strength and resiliency and explore ways to parlay those into their recovery journey. Topics include breaking the chain of low self-esteem, increasing self-care, practicing boundary setting, and addressing the specific challenges women in recovery face. The inspiration behind this group is to help women acknowledge the unique gifts they possess and the importance of building close, nurturing relationships with other women in order that they may uplift each other in the fellowship of “sober sisters.”
50+ This group grew out of the desire expressed by guest 50 years of age and older to discuss the unique challenges they face in life and recovery such as relationships with adult children and grandchildren, loss of spouses, retirement, health related issues which are part of the aging process, facing one’s own mortality and how they view their future. Members of this group often share similar experiences with their upbringing, gender roles, and social, religious, marital and parenting expectations, as well as how drinking and alcoholism/addiction is perceived. Guests report this group offers them an opportunity to connect with others that they relate to on a variety of levels.
Relationships in Recovery is designed to provide members the opportunity to explore how to make and maintain healthy relationships with significant others, spouses, children, friends, parents, siblings, co-workers, etc. It’s a safe, non-judgmental group where members can share openly about how their addiction has impacted their relationships and find a path to repair and maintain healthy relationships in sobriety. Members also learn how to detach from unhealthy relationships that place them at high-risk for relapse. Topics include boundary-setting skills, stopping the cycle of co-dependency, letting go of guilt and shame and identifying what relationships they want in their lives which align with their core values and enhance their recovery.
High Watch Recovery offers our guests the opportunity to extend their treatment through the Extended Care Program.
