Turning Point Facility Aims to Help Addicts Rebuild Lives
The Turning Point facility in Texas offers a four to seven day non medical detox followed by counseling and lectures. About 80 percent of programs statewide faced funding cuts in 1995, yet Turning Point increased patient capacity with a $750,000 yearly budget. Fewer than 5 percent of patients can afford treatment, and the center serves Ector, Midland, and Pecos counties as the area’s only nonprofit program, with many clients seeking ongoing support after discharge.
