Turning Point Centers Bell Canyon

FIRE ARM NIGHTMARE experience here. I got assaulted by another male at the house. The guy fought me because I accidentally drank his Powerade. They said no matter who starts the fight you both get kicked out. I told them to wait until I arrange a car to the airport. They didn t give me time to even call an Uber. I had a FIRE ARM pointed at me from one of the counselors that work there while I was walking off the property. Everyone is searched prior to entering the rehab and he was about to kill a defenseless young man. The counselor was smiling so EVIL while pointing the gun at me. I expected to have to be safe stay there. This rehab is DANGEROUS for anyone to be staying at. If anyone wants they can contact me for a detailed experience about this rehab.

so I was very hesitant even going to rehab and treatment, let alone go online and have to decide with all the treatment options. but I have to thank turning point for being there in my recovery. I learned so much not only about my addiction but my thinking behind the addiction and my triggers. I definetly wasn't the easiest client to handle but the support staff Hailey was the one who was so easy to share my problems/stories with and she just understood that I was there to change my life for the better live a different life and she was always there to help me even at the times she didn't want to be. so thank you Hailey. and thank you turning point. and anyone who truly wants to live a life of sobriety and change their life then I HIGHLY RECOMEND these guys.

I ve been sober for just under 4 years so I feel like my opinion holds some weight now that I have a clear mind. This has been on my mind since the last time I left TP. I ve been to rehab 4 times, the first 2 were at Turning Point. Being the only treatment center I had ever attended, I had nothing to compare it to. If I had known, I would ve never gone there. The entire program is a cash grab, from start to finish. It s alllll about the money there, not the patients and certainly not keeping people sober. They ve figured out that if you don t give people the tools they actually need to stay sober, they get repeat customers and more $$$. I ve seen more of my friends die coming out of that program than literally anywhere else. Including my friend Justin, rest in peace. Their day treatment and IOP programs are the same. Very centered around money, weird personality tests and not at all anything I ve ever been able to use in my recovery. Dennis was rude & short with people, and intentionally unforgiving of tardiness in order to refer people to a higher level of care AKA more money for TP. I was housing insecure when I left treatment the first time, fleeing an abusive relationship. A little bit of flexibility would ve gone a long way to help me stay sober, but that s not what they re about. my therapist told me time & time again that he d help me figure out some places that could help, or even a scholarship to sober living while I got back on my feet. I had nothing. He never followed through, but instead on the day I was discharged handed me a sheet of paper he had literally googled and printed out. I could ve done that myself. I still have the paper. I now know of plenty of resources that would ve been available to me at the time had my therapist cared to even try. Staff is unprofessional and doesn t manage the facility or clients well, and the only 12 step meeting they ll take you to is the old timers meeting on Fridays that s literally 4 grumpy old men, no other women. So no safe sponsorship candidates for women, and definitely not an environment anyone with trauma from men would feel comfortable opening up in. There s a clear pattern of them not considering women in their decisions, including the second time I attended TP when they only had male therapists. As someone with a lot of trauma from men, it really didn t work for me and I know I m not the only woman who would ve benefited from a female therapist.**Edited this to add a response to the owner. Reviews are largely based on opinions & experiences. Nowhere in google s review policies does it state that opinions can t be posted as part of a review. Failure to consider women in decisions is absolutely an opinion of mine based on my experience there. Reviews are not facts only and heavily rely on people s opinions & experiences. Having not a single female therapist, and not a single meeting that wasn t all old men was absolutely a failure to consider an entire group of people in treatment & I stand by that.
