High Point & Affiliated Organizations

Originally incorporated in 1996, the organization grew through affiliations, including a 2002 merger with NeBCOA, the oldest substance abuse agency in New Bedford (established 1971). High Point operates a full continuum of care focused on substance use disorder treatment and mental health services, including detoxification, short and long-term residential programs, and outpatient clinics. For nurses, the organization offers roles in addiction treatment settings such as its Men's Addiction Treatment Center in Brockton, with scheduled shifts (e.g., Monday–Friday, 3pm–11pm) and an emphasis on work-life balance through flexible scheduling tools and generous leave policies. The organization serves a complex and vulnerable patient population, providing nurses with opportunities to develop expertise in behavioral health, addiction medicine, and dual diagnosis care.

High Point's mission is to prevent and treat substance use and mental health disorders, with the goal of helping individuals achieve personal change and accept responsibility toward an improved quality of life. The organization pursues this by offering a full continuum of care, supporting inclusion and diversity, providing prevention services, and improving quality through evidence-based practices. High Point explicitly emphasizes staff diversity, offering floating holidays for cultural and religious observances.
