Our Story

High Point Treatment Center was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in July 1996 with the purpose of purchasing the assets of High Point, a privately owned substance abuse treated facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In August 1997, High Point Treatment Center was successful in purchasing the Plymouth facility and began operating a substance abuse detox and rehabilitation program, as well as a small Outpatient clinic in New Bedford.

In 2002, High Point Treatment Center created a parent organization called the Southeast Regional Network, which then affiliated with NeBCOA, the oldest substance abuse agency (incorporated in 1971) in New Bedford. It provides short and long-term residential services in New Bedford.
