Annual Report



A Message from
High Point’s Board Chairman

and
the President & CEO

“What a Year!”

“Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.”

-Roger Crawford

High Point was founded with the vision to create a continuum of care for patients seeking
addiction and/or mental health treatment. In a little more than 20 years, the organization
grew from 60 beds to 912 beds.

This past summer, however, we made the incredibly difficult decision to close our 24-bed
youth stabilization program, CASTLE, and the 72-bed psychiatric hospital in Middleborough.
Both programs, since their inceptions 11 and 4 years ago respectively, had always operated
with significant financial deficits. As a nonprofit organization with limited resources
dedicated to serving a public population with complex needs, we ultimately needed to close
the programs to best support our other services. Despite those challenges, High Point
continues to offer one of the more comprehensive continuum of care in the state, providing
diverse treatment options, including inpatient, outpatient, and community-based recovery
services.

This past year, we also experienced a number of seasoned staff retirements, as well as the
expansion of our Executive team from 2 Chief Operating Officers to 4 Chief Operating
Officers, in an effort to better assist the current and growing needs of the individuals we
serve.

High Point’s mission is to prevent and treat substance use disorders and mental illness. This
cannot be realized, let alone accomplished, if it wasn’t for the nearly 1,200 dedicated staff,
who treat the more than 30,000 individuals admitted to our programs every year. Here, at
High Point, we realize that “change is a process, not an event,” and we strive to continue to
improve access to treatment and the quality of care.

Charles Maccaferri Daniel S. Mumbauer
Board Chairman, High Point President & CEO

Carol Kowalski: Long-Time Leader Retires

When the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA)
recognizes your contributions to virtually a lifetime of nursing,
you know you’re doing something more than right.

The MNA recently gave Carol Kowalski, MSN, CARN, CADC
II, its Human Needs Services award, which recognizes “an
individual or group who has performed outstanding services
based on human need, with respect for human dignity,
unrestricted by consideration of nationality, race, creed, color, or
status.” You don’t have to tell High Point staff about Carol’s abilities and talents as she has
generously shared them as a High Point employee before retiring this past September. Most
recently, Carol was the long-time site director of our Brockton Meadowbrook campus and
program director of the Brockton Addiction Treatment Center.

Carol’s affiliation with High Point actually began with Catholic Charities’ decision to
close its detox program, the Brockton Addiction Treatment Center in 2004. She quickly
reached out to High Point President and CEO Daniel Mumbauer to inquire about High Point’s
interest in taking on the program. Daniel immediately visited the site, reviewed the financials,
and the program joined High Point approximately 2 weeks later, keeping its name, as well as
the majority of staff. Her responsibilities as Brockton Meadowbrook site director were
numerous, ranging from acting as a liaison to community agencies, functioning within and
overseeing budget allocations, ensuring compliance to Joint Commission accreditation
requirements, overseeing all staffing, and adhering to DPH standards of practice and rules and
regulations, as well as promoting a professional environment that fostered patient-centered
care.

Working in the field for 46 years, Carol witnessed a sea change in clientele and
treatment. When she began working for the Brockton Addiction Treatment Center in 1973,
the average client age was the mid-50s, and the substance use disorder was primarily alcohol.
As she says, “Over the years, the age kept dropping to ultimately impacting more younger
people, and alcohol gradually gave way to opioids.” Because of the acuity and number of
patients, Carol wishes there was more funding to support treatment programs, especially
nonprofits like High Point. What will she miss? “There was never a dull moment, and I feel we

High Point’s Prevention Services: Funding Expansion

The year 2019 was exciting and eventful. The two collaboratives that make up
Prevention Services (Brockton Area Prevention Collaborative [BAPC] and Plymouth Area
Substance Abuse Prevention Collaborative) provided education and awareness on addiction
and substance use disorders to 10 communities within Plymouth County. Success, in part,
stems from numerous grants that address underage drinking, opioid use with a focus on
individuals employed in the trades, the non-medical use of prescription drugs, and gambling
prevention. The department was awarded the Partnerships for Success- Strategic Prevention
Framework grant through SAMHSA ($223,942) for 5 years to address underage alcohol and
marijuana use among 6th-8th graders in Southeastern MA. BAPC, excluding Brockton, was
awarded the Drug-Free Communities federal grant for $125,000 over 5 years to address
prescription drugs and marijuana prevention among youth 18 and under. This serves East
Bridgewater, Rockland, and Whitman and include the vocational high schools. Prevention
Services again received United Way of Greater Plymouth County support to host its “Be in the
Know” youth conference. This brings together student leaders, advisers, and volunteers from
different schools, to learn prevention strategies and discuss how substance use affects schools
and communities while identifying potential solutions to initiate change.

Prevention Services is a leading program in MA offering
prevention education, addressing underage gambling,
supported by the MADPH Office of Problem Gambling
Services. Over 2019, staff held two 16-week Photovoice
projects with Southeastern Regional Vocational Tech-
nical and Brockton High Schools. Photovoice uses a
youth-centered, participatory approach. Students re-
ceived education on social justice, advocacy, public
speaking, and gambling. They captured photos in their
community and engaged in group reflection to create
calls to action. Projects are displayed in the community.

Keeping Young Families Healthy & Engaged

The past year for Brockton Healthy Families
(BHF) and Taunton/Attleboro Healthy Families
(TAHF) programs revolved around accreditation
and ensuring the programs worked to meet the
benchmarks set by the funder, Children’s Trust. In
addition, they did not lose sight on ensuring what
is most important: providing quality services to
families.

As part of a statewide system, Healthy
Families Massachusetts, our programs completed
their self-studies for accreditation, which were submitted to Healthy Families America (HFA).
This included gathering data and writing analysis and plans for 12 standards, governance, and
administration for a total of 139 critical elements. Of the 24 sites within the state, 8 were
chosen for an accreditation site visit, with BHF being one. A site visit was completed in the fall,
and Children’s Trust is awaiting formal notification from HFA regarding accreditation. Through
this, our programs identified strengths and areas for improvement, which assisted with
increasing percentage points as they relate to funder benchmarks. Of the 28 benchmarks, the
BHF program increased percentage points in half of them and the TAHF program in 15 (53%).
The benchmarks reflect the work that is being done with families.

During FY19, our programs serviced 161 families by conducting 3,448 home visits and
holding 21 groups. Home visits focused on increasing parenting skills by providing education
and information on child development, family health, and positive parent-child interactions.
“Home visitors” administered screens on child
development, substance use, mental health,
and interpersonal violence. These screens
allow us to assess the family unit and provide
referrals. Staff also worked with families to
develop achievable goals, while promoting
independence and self-advocacy. Groups were
designed to reinforce home visits, reduce
isolation, and promote social connections. We
are excited about the positive impact our
programs have on families served.

New Name, Expanded Services= CBRS

Ten years ago, the Community Support Program (CSP) started here with 2 coordinators
providing services to MBHP clients. CSP grew as more insurance providers came onboard.
Three years ago, the ARCH program (Addiction Recovery Coaches in Hospitals) launched to
provide triage-type services to persons who present at the two Brockton area hospitals with
an overdose and/or severe SUD. Over the past year, CSP experienced some of its biggest
changes. Because of this, the name changed to ‘Community Based Recovery Services’ (CBRS),
reflecting the diversity of services provided and recognizing CSP comprises about 10% of our
overall services.

2019 marked a major change as MassHealth providers introduced new services:
Recovery Support Navigator (RSN) and Recovery Coaching (RC). RSN replaces CSP for people
with a SUD and expanded eligibility requirements. RC is a peer to peer service providing
emotional and social supports and connection to the recovery community for people in
recovery from SUD. It is a significant part of CBRS as all staff is trained to be recovery coaches.
A key component of RC is it can be offered at the same time as RSN services. This allows us to
offer additional supports and collaboration of services within the CBRS program. We are
already seeing benefits of this two-pronged approach to recovery.

Quality & Compliance Department Expands

The Quality and Compliance Department
experienced tremendous growth in 2019. Historically over-
seen by the Director of Corporate Compliance, High Point
identified a growing call to expand quality and compliance
initiatives and hired its first Chief Quality and Compliance
Officer, Sara Bennett, in 2018. A department evaluation
identified the need to hire staff to support program
compliance and establish quality initiatives. Three positions
were added: a Data and Compliance Coordinator, Clinical
Quality Coordinator, and a Director of Quality.

Staff provides quality and compliance trainings, performance improvement initiatives
for staff and patients, and has improved coordination with state agencies and accreditation
surveys. The team has also taken on the role of electronic health record training, program
health and safety monitoring to proactively assist managers with implementing change, and
supporting internal initiatives to raise the quality of services being provided.

COOs With Collective 36+ Years at High Point Retire

2019 was a watershed year in that two of the agency’s COOs, Fran Markle of

Inpatient Services, and Steve Montembault of Residential Services, wrapped up lengthy
careers. Both saw High Point and its affiliates, SEMCOA and Southeast Family Services,
through unbelievable growth. Consider: in 2009, they were working for a $35.6 million
organization. In 2019, that figure had increased to $85.5 million. Under Fran, High Point in
Jamaica Plain opened, as did MATC and WATC. She also played an integral role in getting the
BH CP initiative off the ground. Under Steve, Unity House, a permanent housing program for
men in recovery, and a women’s recovery home, Monarch House, opened. A family
preservation program was added, as well as WRAP House, a women’s long-term residential
housing program, and New Chapters, a men’s recovery home. He also oversaw the expansion
of affordable housing and awarding of 2 contracts for Healthy Families Massachusetts
programs, in addition to family shelters opening in Fall River and Taunton. Although they will
be missed, their contributions have a lasting impact on those we serve, as well as the staff
who learned much from each.

Insurance Changes on Residential Front in 2019

Change is seldom an easy process to adopt. However, in the substance use disorder
and mental health fields, change has become the new normal.

Perhaps the biggest change to come to the residential front in a very long time
became effective on January 1, 2019, when recovery home services became billable to
MassHealth providers. While providing the wonderful opportunity to be reimbursed for 100%
of services, it also provided challenges as staff learned to navigate the complex world of
electronic health records (EHR). This is an area they had no experience in. Staff from the
recovery homes (Harmony House, New Chapters, and Monarch House) were first taught to
enter information into the EHR, so High Point’s Billing Department could appropriately bill for
services rendered. Terri Zinsius, AR and Contracts
Director, gave trainings to staff on learning how to
determine client eligibility, in addition to
obtaining authorizations from the Managed Care
Organizations (MCOs). Although it’s been a
learning curve, recovery home staff is adapting,
which, in turn, paves the way for the AR staff to
do its job.

Emergency Family Shelter: Providing More
Than a Roof Over Their Heads

Congregate living is not easy… under the best
circumstances. Imagine being homeless with your family as you
adapt to living with other families while navigating through the
system as you seek permanent housing. Since 2001, Southeast
Family Services (SFS), one of High Point’s affiliates, has been
working alongside homeless families by providing emergency
placement while assisting with obtaining sustainable housing.

SFS operates three congregate family emergency shelters
(‘centers’): Fall River Family Center, housing 7 families with 28
beds. Harbour House Family Center in New Bedford, housing 16
families with 58 beds; and Taunton Family Center, housing 7
families with 25 beds. Harbour House has been operating for 19
years. Fall River and Taunton opened in 2009. In addition to our
congregate shelters, we sub-contract for 76 scattered site units. In FY19, SFS served 115
families within our three shelters, exceeding our rehousing placement goals. In fact, our
combined congregate shelter goal was to rehouse 30 families yearly. In FY19, SFS had 36
positive placements, representing a 20% increase of our targeted goal. The average length
of stay in our shelters was below the state average as well: Taunton: FY19- 206 days;
Harbour House: FY19- 137 days; and Fall River: FY19- 108 days.

In our experience, families with housing difficulty usually experience 1 or more of
these barriers: Physical challenges, mental health, substance use disorders, and/or
developmental challenges. These contribute to the inability to secure and/or maintain
employment. They often have poor financial literacy, decision-making skills, and difficulty
navigating systems. They tend to exhibit less impulse control and experience more emotional
de-regulation; therefore, we refer families to support services within our continuum. Criminal
Record Offender Inquiries that identify criminal histories, fines, and/or open cases, and/or
probation involvement can also present barriers, with landlords hesitant to rent. We help
families resolve active legal issues, in addition to work with landlords to address concerns.
Prior eviction history and arrears can present as barriers, as well. Rehousing staff educates
families on being good tenants and the importance of financial literacy.

We are committed to assisting families on their path to finding a permanent home.
Living in one of our ‘family centers’ is but a step in that process.

Happenings Around High Point Sites

Brockton Addiction Treatment Center (BATC): Willie Wiggins, Jr. joined the

team in September 2019 as site director of the Meadowbrook campus, following Carol
Kowalski’s retirement. He has 25+ years’ experience in addictions management. A new
position was also created, Recovery Specialist Supervisor, which was filled by Linda Phillips
Giordano, who had previously worked as a supervisor at High Point Hospital. In addition,
Rosalee Pilling, who also worked at High Point Hospital, was welcomed as Clinical Director of
BATC Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS). Gina Millet, the long-term BATC Acute Treatment
Services (ATS) Clinical Director, helped maintain a sense of stability as the new management
team settled into place.

Plymouth campus: With the departure of Susan Carreiro-Penacho to assume the newly

created position of COO of Outpatient Services, the campus underwent staffing changes,
including rehiring former High Point manager Lisa Doubleday as site director and Stacey
Colabello as Clinical Director of Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS) in July 2019 to assist with
the campus reconfiguration. Dr. Luis Molmenti, formerly a psychiatrist at High Point Hospital,
was promoted to Medical Director of the Dual Diagnosis Unit (DDU), and the former Medical
Director of DDU, Dr. Allison Davidson, was promoted to the newly created position of Chief of
Psychiatry for all of High Point.

New faces include DDU Clinical Director Kathleen Mooney and Nurse Manager Laurie Holmes.
Joanne Powers, who had worked for more than 20 years as a receptionist at the campus,
retired in 2019. The facility also benefitted from some major upgrades, including replacement
of most furniture in the common and group rooms over the summer. The DDU moved to a
newly renovated space located at the front of the campus, and the CSS program was
reorganized, so all patients are located in one building, instead of three.

Telehealth: High Point is now providing telehealth services, which allow patients to

receive services in the comfort of their home or wherever they choose. Imagine being able to
connect with your therapist without driving to the clinic. Telehealth also helps to address
challenges that sometimes occur when clients want to access services but may be hampered
in doing so, including transportation, child care coverage, work schedule, and inclement
weather conditions. Clients can be assured that their information remains confidential just as
it does during office visits because High Point is utilizing secure telepsychiatry software. Tele-
health services are covered by most health insurances and are available at all five of High
Point’s outpatient clinics in Brockton, Middleborough, New Bedford, Plymouth, and Taunton.

SSRAC: More Than Domestic Violence Services

If you live or work on the South Shore,
Rochester, or Wareham, you fortunately have
access to free and confidential domestic
violence services at our program, the South
Shore Resource and Advocacy Center (SSRAC).

Individuals like Tammy and her children
visit the center, hoping to transition to a life
free of violence. Tammy became homeless due
to abuse and relocated to the area. She was in
transitional housing, trying to secure long-term
affordable housing. Tammy was also seeking
help to address her trauma, as well as that of
her daughters. The 6-year-old had been abused
by her father, and the 2-year-old had witnessed
abuse and was delayed in her speech. The center’s advocates worked with a child advocate,
while providing services, including group and individual counseling, as well as access to an on-
site food pantry, clothing closet, and childcare. Tammy ultimately faced her abuser in court
and felt empowered. What’s life like for her now? She is free. She laughs, her children laugh.
They make noise without facing unacceptable consequences.

But SSRAC is more.
Its homicide bereavement programs SHARES (for adults) and HEART (for children)
provide free and confidential support to clients in Bristol and Plymouth counties. Its Drunk
Driving Trust Fund provides support and advocacy to people impacted by collisions caused by
an impaired driver in Bristol and Plymouth counties. It also provides education, prevention,
and training services. SSRAC is a vital resource in the 18 communities it serves, and while
providing domestic violence services is the crux of what staff does, these ancillary services are
just as important.

A Program, in Its 6th Year, Has Graduated 50
C
In 2019, High Point’s ACT (Addiction Certification Training) program has
much to be proud of. Created to support staff interested in becoming Licensed
Alcohol and Drug Counselors, the program provides students with the 270
educational hours required to take the International Certification and
Reciprocity Consortium (ICRC) addiction exam.

T An amazing 98% have passed the LADC examination on their first
attempt! And… many colleges and universities like Lesley and Springfield are
accepting our courses for Bachelor’s level credits.
