About High Watch Recovery Center
Medical detox comes first at High Watch Recovery Center, a nonprofit addiction treatment center in Kent, Connecticut. It typically runs three to seven days, with physicians and nursing staff monitoring guests around the clock.
From there, guests move on to residential treatment and partial hospitalization, then into intensive outpatient work or sober living. The program follows the 12-step model of recovery alongside clinical care.
Insurance and Self-Pay in Kent
If health insurance is how you’re paying, High Watch takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield in network and also works with Cigna, Aetna and United Healthcare. In-network status usually leaves you with a smaller share of the bill.
And if you’re uninsured or have limited coverage, the team can talk with you about self-pay options and other resources.
Intensive Outpatient Across the Country
High Watch’s intensive outpatient program is clinician-led and covers addiction and mental health care for guests across the country. Plus, each track runs three days a week, so the rest of your week stays open for work or family.
The campus in Kent covers 300 acres in the Litchfield Hills. High Watch dates to 1939 and has direct ties to AA, a peer-support fellowship.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.
Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.
Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.
Transportation services are designed to ensure your addiction treatment begins and ends successfully by offering free transportation to the rehab facility, to and from your appointments during rehab, and back home upon program completion.
Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improve your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
When paired with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise can be an effective tool for overcoming addiction. Drug rehabs with a gym offer clients healthy ways to increase energy levels, balance the body’s stress hormone levels, and aid in the brain’s healing process.
There are many pathways to recovery and some journeys take a more labor-intensive approach, by attending a farm-based drug rehab. Farm life has many parallels with recovery: it requires constant tending, nurturing, and creating the conditions necessary to thrive. The benefits of a farm program include learning new skills, building a recovery community, peer support, and contributing to a greater ecosystem.

Addiction recovery programs may incorporate the care of therapy dogs, cats, horses, and other animals into their treatment model to support clients’ development of recovery-focused life skills, including personal responsibility, time management, and empathy. Contact with therapy animals may reduce stress, enhance mood, decrease depression and anxiety, and increase clients’ self-esteem and sense of wellbeing.
