High Watch Recovery Center Earns Selective LegitScript Certification

Certification demonstrates High Watch Recovery Center’s commitment to safe and ethical practice
in addiction care in Connecticut.

Kent, CT, February 13, 2019 --(PR.com)-- High Watch Recovery Center, a recognized leader in the field
of substance abuse treatment in Connecticut, has received LegitScript's Addiction Treatment Certification
, after an extensive review of the facility's website and treatment practices. LegitScript requires rehab
centers to meet strict criteria for safety, transparency and legality before being certified. Their evaluation
also includes criminal background checks along with license and insurance verification.

As of September 2017, Google began limiting advertising for addiction treatment centers after a report
showing some rehab centers were putting out deceptive ads and taking advantage of vulnerable
individuals with drug and alcohol addiction. By January 2018, Google banned all types of addiction
treatment-related ads and began working with specific verification and monitoring services to ensure the
authenticity and legitimacy of treatment centers and the ads they promote through Google. This strategy
creates provider accountability and protects consumers when seeking treatment.

Oftentimes, options online can be overwhelming for those seeking treatment. A LegitScript certification
can help consumers find reputable, quality treatment online and create provider accountability. During the
rigorous examination, LegitScript reviews an addiction treatment provider's background, qualifications,
privacy practices and compliance with state legal and regulatory licensing requirements. Providers who
do not meet these requirements will not be certified and cannot advertise on Google or Facebook. By
meeting LegitScript's strict guidelines for certification, High Watch Recovery Center now stands out as a
leader in addiction medicine with successful, 12-step principles and state-of-the-art treatment.

The most reliable treatment options often come from those facilities with specific accreditations, like
those given by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO). A stamp of
approval from JCAHO means that the treatment facility meets the board's rigorous standards of care and
treatment practices. High Watch Recovery Center has earned JCAHO's Golden Seal of Approval® for
Behavioral Health Care in 2017 after demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance
standards. The seal is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization's commitment to safe, high quality
practices.

High Watch Recovery is also a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers.
This nonprofit professional society represents hundreds of top treatment providers and offers leadership,
advocacy, training and member support services to ensure the availability and highest quality of addiction
treatment.

"We are excited to earn LegitScript's seal of approval," said Jerry Schwab, High Watch Recovery's
President and CEO. "We continuously strive to provide our guests with the tools they need to find
successful recovery and we are very careful about sharing our story honestly and ethically.”
