Turning Point
Turning Point Chemical Dependency Treatment Center overlooks the Allegheny River in Franklin, Pennsylvania. Situated on 24 wooded acres, Turning Point consists of three buildings, one of which is the original mansion of a lumber baron who built the estate in the late 1890s. Admission to Turning Point is available to male and female adults (18 years and older) who are chemically dependent.

Established in 1997, Turning Point has treated over 7,000 chemically dependent individuals. Our mission is to provide quality treatment to clients and families in the most cost efficient manner. Turning Point is a 65 bed inpatient facility, and our services and continuum of care include medically monitored detoxification (using Suboxone® for opiate addicts, when appropriate), short term inpatient treatment, long term inpatient treatment, a partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, and individual counseling on an outpatient basis.

Turning Point's philosophy is based on the fact that addiction is a disease, and utilizes a clinical model to treat the individual. Shortly after admission, an assessment is completed to determine the level of care appropriate for the patient.

Based on the assessment, a treatment plan is developed with the patient that will allow the patient to recognize the severity of his or her addiction, gain knowledge of addiction and recovery, identify and deal with issues that may block ongoing recovery, and utilize available support for ongoing recovery.

Many insurance companies provide coverage for most or all of treatment at Turning Point. For the uninsured, we offer competitive self-pay rates that make treatment affordable.
