A personalized road to recovery, for every patient.
Every admission to Turning Point begins the same way: a conversation about what you've been using, how much and how recently, what else is going on in your health, and what your coverage looks like. That assessment is what decides the plan, not the substance on its own.
Our medically monitored detox covers alcohol, opioids and sedatives such as benzodiazepines, which is where most of the physical risk of stopping sits. Stimulants work differently: there's no approved medication for stimulant use disorder and no medical detox in that sense, so treatment there is built on residential care and counseling instead.
Most people arriving at Turning Point are not dealing with one thing in isolation. More than one substance is common, and so is something underneath it: depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain. Our co-occurring care treats those alongside the substance use, rather than after it, because treating one and ignoring the other rarely holds.
