With a rich history spanning nearly five decades, Turning Point has been at the forefront of providing effective and compassionate care to those in need, irrespective of their ability to pay. As a leader in the field, Turning Point has adopted a holistic approach to treatment, combining evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of the human spirit. Our mission is to empower our patients to reclaim their lives, mend their relationships, and reintegrate into society as productive and fulfilled members.

Our History: A Legacy of Service and Compassion

Established in 1974, Turning Point has been a pioneer in the field of substance use disorder treatment. Our organization has evolved over the years, adapting to the changing landscape of addiction and the needs of the communities we serve. From our humble beginnings as a volunteer-run effort to our current status as a reputed and accredited treatment provider, Turning Point has remained steadfast in its commitment to making a difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction.

Leadership Team: A Dedicated Group of Professionals

At Turning Point, our leadership team is comprised of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are passionate about helping our patients achieve long-term recovery. Our team is multidisciplinary, bringing together experts in the fields of medicine, psychology, social work, and counseling. This diversity of perspectives and expertise enables us to provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to treatment.

Our Approach: A Holistic and Evidence-Based Methodology

Turning Point's approach to treatment is grounded in the principles of the 12-step program, which has a proven track record of success in helping individuals achieve and maintain sobriety. We believe that recovery is a multifaceted process that addresses not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. Our evidence-based therapeutic interventions include cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. By addressing the underlying causes of addiction and providing our patients with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges, we set the stage for lasting change.
