Serving the High Country | A Project of All Common Ground
đĄ A New Way Forward After Rock Bottom
The High Country Holistic Recovery Center is a developing refuge for people in recoveryânot just from addiction, but from the wounds life can leave behind.
Whether someone is coming out of jail, escaping homelessness, or simply longing for a new beginning, we want them to know:
Youâre not a burden. Youâre not a project. Youâre a person.
And you are not alone.
đŹ A Different Kind of Recovery
Weâre building a place where recovery means more than sobrietyâ
A community where healing happens in mind, body, and spirit through love, purpose, and shared life.
This isnât just a dreamâitâs a blueprint in motion.
Weâre inviting helpers, builders, givers, and listeners to help bring it to life.
Whether youâre a therapist, farmer, business owner, donor, or someone who believes that love can heal what shame cannotâwe want to hear from you.
đ§ Our Mission
To restore lives fractured by addiction, trauma, or purposelessness
by creating a safe, structured community rooted in dignity, presence, and holistic support.
We offer both short-term and long-term pathwaysâfrom weekly circles to immersive 6â12-month residential recoveryâfocused on:
- Personal transformation
- Practical skill-building
- Emotional and spiritual healing

- Transparency is Non-Negotiable: Every dollar is trackable. No hidden games.
