“High Standards has been my best experience in recovery thus far. I had tried literally every imaginable method to stop my addiction from consuming me and nothing seemed to work. I was out of control mentally, physically, and emotionally. After I was enrolled into High Standards, my life started to and continues to get better on a daily basis.

Following direction is not my strength but the staff at High Standards – Ira, Bryan, and Kyle worked with me and we all found a comfortable ground to meet on. At first is seemed overwhelming if not entirely impossible to follow all of the requirements of the house. But as time progressed, my attitude and life changed as a direct result of the High Standards program.”

“I’ve been at High Standards for about 6 months. My stay at High Standards has been one I’ll never forget. Since a young age I’ve been consumed by the disease of drug and alcohol addiction along with anger problems, family problems, and abuse. My whole family is in recovery, so by the age of 17 I had made myself the ‘black sheep’. At 19, I first tried to get sober by attending a rehabilitation facility called The Betty Ford Center, but still I continued to use drugs and alcohol. At 22, I went to The Mayflower Center in Northern California and still continued to use drugs and alcohol.

At the age of 23, I was arrested for two counts of battery and was sentenced to nine months in jail. When I got out I came to Prescott, Arizona and went straight into treatment at Decision Point Center, but was kicked out. I came into High Standards with an attitude and mindset that I was going to leave in 30 days and go back home. With the help of Bryan, Ira, and all the guys in High Standards, my attitude slowly began to change. High Standards’ structure and accountability began to bring meaning in my life. The comradery and true care of everyone there changed me. High Standards taught me how to live, how to be accountable, how to be responsible, and most of all, how to stay sober.

So now here I am six months later, still at High Standards, a member of the program that saved my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Brian, Ira, and all the guys that helped me along the way. Now with over a year of sobriety, I have the tools and the knowledge to stay sober, hopefully for the rest of my life.”

“Coming into High Standards I probably was categorized as a hopeless alcoholic and addict. I had been through countless treatments and been in and out of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous for over six years with little success. Coming to Prescott was my last chance to pull things together and better my life. I had goals to finish college and move on with my career, but I didn’t have any of the necessary tools to be able to be able to accomplish what I wanted to do.

I’ve been at High Standards for around five months now and I have accomplished more than I had in the last four years. I am a straight A student at a local college and have worked to gain a position as a residential house manager here at High Standards. With the help of the support group here I have been able to regain a strong relationship with my family; a relationship I thought could not be repaired. Steadily I have been able to put back the pieces of my life through the help of the owners and the client care that they provide. The structure provided has taught me the value and importance of having daily living skills. Today I am able to live with integrity and be proud with the progress I have made with the help of this program.”

“Growing up in Texas and being raised by my grandmother, life in my eyes always seemed as if it were missing something especially when compared to the lives of my peers. Since I was really young I’ve always had a great desire to succeed in life and tried to do so to the best of my ability no matter the circumstances, good or bad, I did it all to the fullest. As I grew older so did my need for alcohol and drugs. Alcohol and drugs became a very huge part of my life. Little by little, year after year my life became very unmanageable as I spiraled downhill, completely out of control, which led me to multiple severe legal consequences, on one of which I am currently awaiting prison time.

After several attempts at recovery I feel on a personal standpoint I am finally spiritually, mentally, and physically mature enough to comprehend that maybe life is more than just a party. With almost four months clean time now I am taking my recovery very seriously, working very hard, and doing extremely well.

In closing I would like to add that I am very grateful there is such a safe place as High Standards Recovery. High Standards is a very structured sober living environment which allows me to grow stronger in my recovery and will undoubtedly allow me to fulfill my potential and be a success in life. I have all the hope and faith in this program. I know it works – all the guys that live here are family. We are standing on an unbeatable foundation of recovery, and I am looking forward to my clean and sober journey through the rest of my life.”

“When I first came to High Standards my entire life was unmanageable. My family could no longer trust me. I had hit a dead end in life, and hit it hard. Today, my life improves on a daily basis. My relationships with family and friends get stronger every day. I owe my life to the High Standards program. Thanks High Standards!”
