This is a “no-frills”, last stop for someone who is desperate to make it to tomorrow. If you want sobriety, are out options and are willing to go to any lengths to get it, Turning Point might work for you. Your success rate is equivalent to the amount of effort you are willing to expend and your ability to follow instructions.

The staff are stealing from the homeless people there. From the food down to the clothes. If someone knows some place that i could report them to to please give me some insight on this matter, because they need to be held accountable for their actions.

Life changing, if you are willing. If you are ready, your life can improve. The staff is a blessing, good food, snacks and this is a safe and sober place to stay. It's a refuge for homeless and if you're willing God will meet you there and change your life. If you are ready this is the Turning Point in your life. Thank you.

Turning Point is the type of facility you go to when you can't get into any other facility. It is overcrowded. Counseling is virtually nonexistent. The facility itself is not adequate. The food is inadequate. The staff is marginally trained. Consequently, I do not recommend this place. However, if you can't get into a quality facility, go there and work the program. It will help you!

Questions & Answers

How do I get into turning point

Andre Rouse | Aug 24, 2018
Nicole Rowe | Aug 24, 2018

This is a 30 day program. For two weeks you can not leave the ground but after 2 weeks you can leave on day passes to look for a job. The staff there are great and will help in anyway they can. They have clothing to help with job searches or if you're just in need of clean clothes. They have meeting all day and after your two weeks you can also leave for outside meetings, there are a few great one not far away on Centeral. If you have questions that aren't being answered just give them a call, they will give you all the info you ask for. If you or your loved one has a problem and really want to change then don't wait just call this place and people there are great but you have to be willing to put in the work. Good luck.

Please go to meetings when ever you are not working. Pinellas county has 700 AA meetings and 400 NA meetings. There are many meeting club houses that have meetings several times a day.

Kimberly Luke | Aug 24, 2019
Chris Kostilnik | Aug 24, 2019

I would suggest not letting them know you are a couple, they don't like couples in there. After a few days on mats they give you a room with a few other people, men with men and women with women.

Everyday 3-4 is best

What are the requirements for enrolling in the 30 day program at Turning Point? I do not need to detox. I have relapsed on my alcohol use but am starting to work the steps and am hoping to get into Turning Point as a start to my sobriety.

Amanda Sharp | Aug 23, 2020
Michael P | Aug 23, 2020

It's recommended to tell them that you have recently used they don't really want to take anybody who is already better. other than that to show up at like 2:00 in the afternoon and wait your turn and they will get you in

Kathi Campbell | Aug 24, 2019

No, sorry. Go to operation PAR. Turning point had Narcam as an emergency for opiods but if you have serious alcohol withdrawals, this is not the place

Do you help veterans? The Bay Pines VA has a waiting list and sent someone in desperate need away with Adavant for anxiety, but this person is an alcoholic.

Heather Rudolph-Murphy | Aug 24, 2018
Michael Robinson | Aug 24, 2018

Yes they treat veterans. But it is not a medical detox. If a person needs medication for detox, they need to go to Operation PAR Highpoint or one of the medical detoxes in Tampa.
