COUNSELING AND MENTORING 

Our alcohol counseling services focus on helping clients understand the triggers that lead to addictions and develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges without turning to alcohol and drugs. Our counseling sessions help clients build a strong support system, including family members, friends, and community resources, to help them continue to grow and thrive in their recovery.

At The Turning Point, we know that one addict helping another is at the core of recovery, and our holistic approach to recovery includes connection and support from other recovered addicts.
