How can I be sure my treatment will remain private?
Turning Point is committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and adheres to all federal and state laws that protect such confidentiality.
Is medical detoxification offered as part of residential treatment?
Turning Point offers sub-acute, medically monitored detoxification from opiates and alcohol. All clients are assessed for continued treatment either within Turning Point’s continuum of care or that of another licensed treatment provider. Clients with co-occurring disorders (substance use and mental health disorders) are detoxified and stabilized on their psychotropic medications.
My situation seems especially complicated. How do you make sure I get what I need in treatment instead of the same thing everyone else gets?
When our clients come to Turning Point, we look at all of their needs—physical, psychological, social and spiritual—and create a plan for care unique to each person, combining the traditional Twelve Step model ; individual, group and family counseling; education groups; and other treatment methods as needed. Turning Point has evolved from one of the first residential addiction treatment providers to accept clients with co-occurring disorders into a clinically driven program that can, if needed, provide carefully integrated treatment for clients with complex combinations of substance abuse and co-occurring mental illness.
