Our History

Both having a past scarred by alcoholism and addiction, they set out with a passion to help others who were suffering from the same issues. That desire, coupled with the necessary work it takes to create a quality residential facility that focuses on addiction issues, Turning Point has been blessed to help countless others to achieve sobriety and restore their family. From day one, Turning Point has made it a priority to provide the very best residential housing and recovery program available to those who need it.
