About Us
High Point & Affiliated Organizations is a health and human service agency whose mission is to treat and prevent substance use disorders and mental illness. High Point recognizes, more now than ever, the need for a work life balance! Our leave time package for eligible staff is unmatched and allows employees the time off they need to rest, relax and enjoy life! Time off requests placed with more than 30 days are typically granted and within 30 days a scheduler app assists in trading or filling shifts. Shift trades are allowed even if it accrues overtime. High Point also understands the need to support and recognize staff diversity. In addition to our leave time package, we offer one floating holiday per quarter to allow staff the time off to observe and celebrate their cultures and beliefs! Also, we are consistently monitoring the economy and like agencies to adjust our pay grades at least once a year to, not only remain competitive, but to maintain livable wages. Continued education opportunities assist RN’s in expanding their skills.
