About Turning Point of Tampa Inc

Turning Point started in 1987 and is accredited by the Joint Commission. They also have ASAM Certification. The center has addiction treatment programs specifically for veterans and they’re a preferred provider for TRICARE and the community care network. Make sure you check with the VA about your eligibility for treatment with a community provider first.

Many substance abuse issues are concurrent with other mental health challenges, and an eating disorder is often one of those challenges. The center has programs specific to binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, rumination disorder, and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder. They also treat other atypical eating disorders.

In addition to many traditional therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma therapy, you can also take expressive arts and equine therapy. In equine therapy, you’ll bond with horses to help process your feelings. You’ll learn how to care for the horse in all aspects.

The center accepts and is an in network provider for many major insurances. You can call and verify your insurance before you go through the admittance process. Many former clients call the center “amazing” and are glad they or a loved one went.

Thus far, this is the best detox in Florida (perhaps even better than Riverside Recovery which is listed #3 in the state). The staff are helpful and polite, the food is catered by a local restaurant and is simply delicious, the snack rooms stay well stocked and are full of variety. Update: I discharged from Turning Point residential due to medical reasons. The staff, including the clinical director (Logan) are all recovering. Although I didn't like the therapy sessions or the clientele at the time (negative and institutionalized clients), the staff there made sure that my transition to a PHP went smoothly. I appreciate that. Turning Point of Tampa (although not as strict as it once was reportedly) is very discipline oriented environment. There has been a lot of long term recovery, however. Not every rehab is for everyone. I wish them all well, but their residential was not for me.

I checked myself into Turning Point (TP) for alcohol treatment in April '25. I unfortunately chose Turning Point because I was previously sexually assaulted by an employee at a facility called WhiteSands, and relapsed (consumed beer on my way to the airport) upon leaving WS, yet felt I should give treatment another try. At TP, I talked openly of my relapse, the traumatic abuse I recently experienced, and how I witnessed other patients being sexually molested at WhiteSands (WS) by nursing staff. I was an exceedingly active participant in group, empathetic to other's struggles (helping people write and express themselves in their assignments), and contributed positively to the TP program and community as a whole. Two weeks into treatment, my therapist discretely passed me a note saying I should report my abuse, and WS, to the NYPD (I'm from NYC). A day or so after receiving the note, I was walking to morning group therapy and stopped into the nurse office to receive my morning meds: Tylenol and an antihistamine /Benadryl (I don’t take any prescriptions). Surprisingly a nurse asked me to pee in a cup (odd, but assumed it a random drug test), subsequently I was aggressively administered Narcan even though I had no opiates in my system, and was my perfectly clearheaded, polite, and well mannered self. Following being pinned down by a new “managing” male nurse I did not recognize, the nurse sat across from me boastfully; informing me that TP shared nurses with WS and/or had some form of connection to one another. I not only was violently administered Narcan unnecessarily, but witnessed the two nurses stage what I thought was an accidental overdose. They had absurdly accused me of being on fentanyl or some strong narcotic, I believe to say that the woman touched me and I had fentanyl or some kind of narcotic on my body/ clothes, and that caused this nurse to supposedly collapse outside the room I was seated in. I had remained seated in the chair I was originally in when I first entered the office for meds; the door behind me was open and I could partially see (and hear) over my shoulder that this nurse was trying to gently put herself on the floor or against the wall in some manner. I tremble at how absurd and wrong this is, and how I have to deal with this on top of my traumatic abuse! I was already thinking a WhiteSands connection because the male nurse (I kid you not) blatantly stated something along the lines of “WS says hi” and that some TP employees work there and vice versa. I would have no idea of any WS/ TP connection had it not been explicitly mentioned by this boastful nurse. It seems there is a Tampa rehab network. They evidently stick together and protect their shady business (as well profits - news like this would cast shade and hurt many Tampa rehabs). Luckily, I was taken to a hospital (and later took myself to an additional hospital) that took blood and showed I had NO drugs in my system following the TP incident. I believe this facility tried to frame me for assault of some sort (in order to protect their friends at WhiteSands - and hush up the sexual assault(s)). I cannot see another reason for this unless in fact the TP nurse in question genuinely had a health episode of some sort and passed out / had a lapse in memory. I find it obvious that I was victimized for the cover-up. I not only experienced sexual abuse at WhiteSands, I, alongside dozens of other WS patients, witnessed a young girl in detox get outright horribly abused by a male nurse that dispenses detox narcotics. WS and TP act as all powerful, invincible cash machines that view patients seeking help as easily abuseable warm bodies. WS employees would later follow me around Tampa, Pinellas County/ St. Pete to AA meetings, having uniformed employees intimidate me as I'd speak my truth. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how the vulnerable can be taken advantage of and silenced by those that are to help and heal. It is easy to cast shade at the character of an alcoholic- and use that characterization against them.

I just spoke with Turning Point and was hung up on. They told me that they had plenty of availability a few weeks ago and it would be no issue to get in on 9/1. I just needed to call closer to that date and they could get me in. I was told that they were willing to help me with a morning IOP however now they can’t help at all and I was “told that earlier”. When I challenged them about their recorded lines, I was hung up on and will file with the BBB. Do not bring a loved one here as the level of care that I have experienced is terrible and this facility clearly loves to lie to patients.

Accepted Insurance

Turning Point of Tampa Inc 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.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. For those in need of residential treatment, Turning Point of Tampa provides services that are second to none. Turning Point of Tampa is one of the few facilities in Florida that is licensed to provide residential treatment.

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

Rehab aftercare programs are a collection of highly individualized services designed to promote long-term recovery. These services evolve as your needs change. Case managers and recovery teams typically begin formulating the rehab aftercare service plan early in the recovery process to facilitate your reintegration back into the home, workplace, and community.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Florida is an essential part of treatment, particularly with medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and supervised detox provides around the clock access to medical professionals who can adminsiter proper medications and treatment to address these symptoms and step in should an emergency occur. This intensive clinical care will help curb the withdrawal effects, minimize substance dependence, and prepare you for the next step of treatment.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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 Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

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. For many clients that have a dependency on drugs, alcohol or an eating disorder is deeply intertwined with a co-occurring diagnosis. Turning Point of Tampa addresses all of these circumstances and treat the individual as a whole.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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.
military-program thumbnail image

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

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.

As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

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. Turning Point of Tampa provides a three-day intensive Family Program that is designed to help family members find some much-needed relief. In group lectures, family members are educated on the illness from which their loved one suffers and what it means to recover from it. During this program, the client and family participate together, in order for them to gain a clear understanding of recovery.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

I just spoke with Turning Point and was hung up on. They told me that they had plenty of availability a few weeks ago and it would be no issue to get in on 9/1. I just needed to call closer to that date and they could get me in. I was told that they were willing to help me with a morning IOP however now they can’t help at all and I was “told that earlier”. When I challenged them about their recorded lines, I was hung up on and will file with the BBB. Do not bring a loved one here as the level of care that I have experienced is terrible and this facility clearly loves to lie to patients.

Trying to sign up for this service has been a nightmare when your dealing with the admissions director Vincent…your insurance is getting approved and he wants to strong arm you to pay for the entire treatment while insurance approves it and your not starting for weeks. His assistants want to asses you and he wants to take advantage of your situation. Look for someone who cares and not trying to take advantage of your situation. Makes you wonder how your treatment is going to go when they don’t like one thing in your life. 😡

My family member had the absolute best experience at Turning Point of Tampa. From the very start, the staff showed compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of both substance abuse and mental health recovery. The program is structured yet personal, and the support they received was life-changing. What truly stood out was their therapist—knowledgeable, caring, and truly committed to helping people heal. They built trust quickly and provided the kind of guidance that made a real difference. Turning Point of Tampa didn’t just help my loved one—they helped our whole family move Forward from this disease. Thank you

Review for TPOT. I was a patient at TPOT in Spring '19 (its Summer of '25 at the time of this writing) but based on some of the more recent Google reviews, not much has changed. These are the reasons I DO NOT recommend TPOT to anyone suffering from substance abuse, especially with co-occuring conditions. 1. Unless your co-occuring condition is an eating disorder, then they will not treat you adequately. They treat SUD as a spiritual malady... period (just as AA/NA do). If you have past abuse, PTSD, or other root causes to your SUD, they will not even listen to you. 2. Their "holistic" approach is better termed "wholly AA, NA, OA 12-step." You will get no other approaches than that. No CBT, CPT, DBT, or any other behavior therapy - most of which have proven more effective than the 12-step approach. The reason for this myopic approach is that it worked for them (the therapists) so it must be The Way. 3. Speaking of effectiveness, the staff actually told us that only 4-10% of us would not relapse. Not a great selling point. How can you call a program effective if it has a 10% success rate? (At best) 4. Therapists across the board use verbal manipulation, Condescension, bullying, and ridicule techniques. Their attitude is that "if you're here, then you must not be capable of original thought." which is curious for a program that requires one to create a god of my understanding. How can one understand his/her higher power if we are incapable of exercising good judgement and making good decisions? 5. This ridicule is played out in weekly "accountability sessions" wherein clients are encouraged - even required - to expose your fellow clients' struggles. And lest you think this is therapeutic, coming clean and admitting your struggles just brings more accusations from the therapists and your fellow clients. If you're old (or informed) enough to remember the stories about Jim Jones and the horror stories from Jonestown, it's quite similar. 6. Veterans: STAY AWAY. The therapists do not understand where Veterans come from in terms of experiences, stressors, PTSD, and the lifestyle that they have had to live in order to serve the country. This is not to say that a civilian treatment center cant possibly treat Veterans. I have been in a couple of centers that were veteran friendly. Moreover, therapists and other staff are unwilling to listen or learn about veteran issues, or any other individual needs. All addicts are treated the same, and the therapy is the same for everyone - the 12-step approach. This single-approach practice is unprofessional, myopic, and lazy. 7. Clients are not allowed to express themselves freely. The staff instruct clients as to how to respond to others in group therapy - feedback must always include certain phrases, you must sit a certain way, and feedback is assigned to clients vs. organic and from the heart. In short, the group therapy environment is a prep school for AA - even to the detriment of the therapy that clients need.

Based on my experience, this is the best detox in Florida (and I've been to the higher end ones). Here's why: the staff are polite, courteous, and helpful. The food is catered by restaurants and it's simply delicious, there is adequate space and you're not crammed in like sardines, coffee and snacks are always available. What's more, they offer a residential program that consists of apartments with one roommate. Smoke/vape whenever you want. Take it from a rehab expert: nothing beats Turning Point of Tampa!

Turning point was a blessing for me....for the care I DID receive...although I was kicked out for getting into an argument with a "therapist" Jackie who got snotty with me and talked down on me and yelled at me to "go to group" , when I was in the office on my phone approved by house manager......Jackie was a disgrace and very rude to most female clients....other than that my experience was great.....I only wish I was allowed to come back and start over..never suffered during detox, and residential was great. Loved Jeffery, one of the best house managers!!!

I have a family member who’s attending turning point of tampa in hopes of finding recovery from addiction to an opiate that he used for back pain. He checked himself into the rehab, because HE wanted to recover. I was originally told we could call an hour or less a day. I haven’t heard from him in a week and have had no idea what is happening or going on. I also live in New York, so telecommuting is my only form of communication with him. Today, I finally got to talk to him. He said this place is like an absolute prison. They took his anxiety meds and insinuated that he only took them because he was a drug user. He’s been locked in a room with nothing but a TV. Not allowed to go outside. Staff not meeting his or anyone else’s needs. Staff is completely disrespectful, not following the code of conduct, treating them like murders and psychopaths. He has continually been arguing with them trying to advocate for himself, and this is an absolute shock, because he hates arguing and bringing up any type of conflict. In fact, he will choose to ignore the conflicts because he simply cannot argue. I am scared and worried for him and they have now taken his phone back again. Do not go here unless you need to be in a prison like environment.

Most of the house managers were great, but the therapist Jackie often body shamed me, Logan which over sees the program clearly doesn’t like women because anytime I tried to talk to him he refused to listen to anything I said. This was my first time in recovery and I’m sad that my first experience wasn’t bad. Why have men and women together if you aren’t allowed to lean on each other for support? I am doing PHP though clean recovery instead. Sad this was my first experience. Ms Natasha the weekend therapist was the best, I loved her so much. Jeffery and Tony are amazing house managers who I will miss greatly. They ask you to write your life story and present it and then cut you off half way and don’t let you finish. I don’t know how their “success” rate is high. All I did was keep to myself and make bracelets but I was picked on constantly, I never left my therapist Jackie feeling better about myself.
