About Turning Point of Central California

The residential program offers a multifaceted approach to transformation. While they are not a traditional alcohol and drug rehab center, they provide certified drug and alcohol classes to individuals struggling with addiction or dual diagnosis. Clients will participate in vocational skills and job development courses, individual counseling, recreational activities, and community-based activities, and they will also have the chance to receive assistance on how to reunite with family members if it is determined that this would be beneficial.

Upon completion of the residential program, clients are encouraged to maintain contact with professionals who can assist them in ongoing care. This often takes the form of mental health counseling, ongoing connection with social services, and maintaining a level of involvement in support groups.

Turning Point of Central CA invites individuals to contact them to learn more about their fees for services, free treatment, and insurance. If a person wants to use insurance for any type of treatment, they are encouraged to contact the provider because out-of-network benefits may vary.

Mi Thio was here for 17 months they did him dirty they isolated him from his whole family they wouldn't help or let him get a job because the passes they submit to leave has to be 2 weeks in advance. They kept him there just for the funding but it's a strange place it's worse than prisom where he came from because they won't let him leave to go get a job or see his family. Now my husband came here 2 months ago and mi amigo came here a month ago. They have "lost" every pass my husband has put in so far, it's retaliation for him speaking up on how bad they treat them. The owner is katy and if you don't bow down to her she will make your time here MISERABLE she targets anyone who speaks their mind or speaks up. So far my husband has had to put in 5 602's in just a little over 2 months. People NEED TO KNOW how bad this place is, she covers for her staff and lies and retaliates against anyone who speaks up by losing their passes and not allowing them to leave to go to church or work a job or go to college she will prevent it and make someone's life miserable while other people around them are her teacher pet. She plays favorites. Not everyone gets treated the same. My Thio is free and he's working with an attorney to sue katy and the facility for doing all of those things to him. This stuff needs to come to light. We're working with cdcr on the proof we have so far of everytime she "loses" his passes he takes pictures of he turns in. Being isolated from his family. They don't believe the men should have any contact with their families AT ALL. The TRUTH WILL come to light SOON. Retaliation is a crime it's illegal. Lying for funding with CDCR is a crime. This place is really bad it's not what they promote it is. My husband has 11 more months here and mi amigo 15 and we won't stop until something is done about katy and the staff and and he's allowed to see his family his kids and get all the benefits the facility lies and says they get. Dont go here. Go anywhere but here. And if you go here document EVERYTHING that happens to you. 602 EVERYTHING they do to violate your rights. Collect proof and send it to your family and file paperwork against them and her every time they violate your rights. The worst part about it all is they refuse to let mi husband see me and our children. It's been over 2 months and they isolated him so bad they won't allow him any contact with us even at prisom we seen him 3 times a week and had family visits every 3 months, and had BBQ and picnics every other week. Zero contact here because of katy she denies every request he tries to see us.

Here's the truth about this facility, I currently have two loved ones here, the facility claims to promote 'family reunification' & 'family unity' & 'rehabilitation' but it's all a lie. The only way you can see your children is on weekend visits. They have denied my husband 8 months of school functions for our 2 children, award assembly's, family therapy sessions and marriage counseling, as well as family church events, they refuse to allow him to be any part of our two children's life with zero expectations. Holidays, birthdays, baptisms- they denied 8 months worth of pleas. My brother is also here and in the same boat with his wife and children. They wont allow the men counseling outside of their facility but they dont offer counseling, it's almost as though they are trying to tear families apart. They say whatever they need to to get funding from cdcr and look good on paper but it's all a lie. They have had 3 outings in the 8 months my husband has been there and he's been told our family is not allowed to show up to them and if we do they would send him back to prison for violating the rules. This is all from Katie the director's mouth. She protects her staff at all costs and lies for them but will do nothing to help rehabilitate the men. They are made to stay in their rooms just like a p r I s o n cell and come out to go to group 3 times a day to watch a movie or do a word search but the facility lies to get funding. If they want to go to a job interview they have to request a pass 2 weeks in advance no exceptions, by then the job is filled. They do daily searches and steal their belongings, they lock themselves in the room and close the blinds while they are searching so no one can see or prove what they are really doing 'planting things to violate someone' they retaliate if you speak up and threaten to send you back if you come forward about what they are doing. At least 20 men i know of are collecting evidence about everything i just named to shut this place down. Just don't let your loved one come here if they have a family because you will never get to see them and they won't be able to be part of their children's lifes. It's truly devastating. We thought over the last 8 months my husband would have been allowed and aided in rebuilding the bond and relationship with our children but the facility has alienated him so much to the point we are worse off than when he was locked up at least their they held monthly events for families to come and every holiday their was a special event for families. Here, I'm telling you, you will have zero contact with your loved one except 6 hour visits on the weekends only and they are closely monitored by staff at all times.

Accepted Insurance

Turning Point of Central California works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
teen-program thumbnail image

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
child-program thumbnail image

Child Program

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.
