Our History

Mountain High Recovery Center was founded as a non-profit organization in August 2019 by two South Lake Tahoe community members, Allison Hibbard and Cristie Tibbetts. With experience as substance use counselors, Allison and Cristie saw the growing need for quality services within our community and opened our first program, DUI Services in October 2021. 

Our Vision

We envision a community where:

Substance use disorders are understood as health conditions, not moral failings
Everyone who needs treatment can access it
Recovery is celebrated and supported
Prevention efforts reduce the impact of substance use on future generations
Families have the resources they need to heal together​
