Drug And Alcohol Counselling

The gift of a new journey - where transformation begins...

The Turning Point was born out of one man’s vision to give to others that which he received. The Turning Point now has its own caring drug and alcohol counselling team to pass these protocols and programmes on to you.

At The Turning Point, we specialise in providing compassionate and effective drug and alcohol counselling services to clients throughout New Zealand. 

Our experienced alcohol counseling team are dedicated to helping clients overcome addiction, build a strong support system, and achieve lasting recovery.

Holistic Wellness

Addiction is a disease that affects the body, mind and soul. We offer a range of holistic care to help your journey to recovery easier, including: 

  • Daily meditation sessions

  • Weekly restorative yoga classes

  • Expert advice on effective nutrition

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.

Meditation plays a specifically valuable role in the lives of people in recovery. We offer meditation daily and guests are free to join in if they choose.

We have an in-house yoga instructor who provides weekly classes, focusing on light stretching and restorative techniques.

Living in addiction, our bodies become depleted of essential nutrients to function effectively. Should the need arise a nutritionist will be engaged to work with you on your dietary needs.

Addiction is a disease of the mind, with our DAPAANZ Registered Counselors, Specialised Staff/Peer Support Workers L4 (Health & well-being & Additions), we provide you with a new knowledge base and a new set of mind/thought processes. These skills once applied, on a daily basis, create new brain chemical pathways to help with your change to a better life.  At The Turning Point we know that one addict helping another is at the core of recovery, our holistic approach to recovery is about connection and support from other recovered addicts.

Our unique approach is holistic – encompassing the medical, the clinical, and the spiritual.
