This is truly the best residential program in Gainesville! I can speak from experience because I was enrolled in another one that comes up first on searches due to a clever business name. I entered Turning Point after 10 miserable months in another local facility. The staff at Turning Point are genuinely concerned with the addict and their personal recovery. They have built the nicest and most modern facility in town, no other can compare, or come close. This facility is right in town and on the public transit route, so the suspended license that most of us have will not totally make your commute to work and amenities intolerable. I can say as a recovering addict who did 10 months in a less conveniently located program, this facility is nicer than my residence in the free world. Please just go look at the other residential treatment centers in the area first and then come see Turning Point, it is like day and night. The others do not compare by any means. I would rather do 12 months in Turning Point than 1 month in that horrible program I was enrolled in prior to my attorney finding Turning Point. Please just go look at the living conditions and decide for yourself. The facility is so much better and the treatment is actually administered by professionals. The other program I was enrolled in for 10 months used mandatory daily outside 12-step AA meetings at the local church. Turning Point runs flexible onsite classes all day throughout the week to accommodate different work schedules. This facility is actually a legitimate recovery compared to the half-way house environments the others operate. The facility has security surveillance and elevators. All apartments have no more than 2 men to a room and each apartment has maximum of 6 men for 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. My previous program packed us in like sardines with 12+ men trying to share 2 outdated restrooms. This is by far the closest you will find to real world living while getting clean. You do not have to be embarrassed and ashamed of where you are living while you are getting clean. I am glad I was discharged from my 1st attempt at rehab because it led me to the best and most humane treatment center I could ever have been fortunate enough to attend. I want to thank the entire Turning Point staff for showing me that recovery does not have to be an environment of fear and intimidation. I could not believe it when I was delivered to the facility. After spending 10 months time in that other substandard facility, I thought they were kidding me that the new apartment building was going to be my recovery residence. You will regret it immensely if you do not tour Turning Point first.

This is truly the best residential treatment facility in Gainesville and probably the entire state of Georgia. I know from bad experiences with another local facility that comes up first on searches due to alphabetical spelling the facility. After serving 10 months in another treatment facility, I can now appreciate the modern new commercial facility that turning point puts the residents in for recovery. Turning point is conveniently located inside the city limits and public transit picks up a stop right in front of the facility. It has security and elevators. After serving 10 months in that other flop house, I thought they were kidding me when they dropped me off at my new recovery facility. I went from an old, outdated and overcrowded flop house to a new apartment building. You can get a facility that you are not embarrassed to live in for the same affordable treatment cost as those other substandard living treatment centers. I have been to both and I wish I had visited the other dumps before I committed myself to 12 miserable months in such unpleasant conditions. Please go tour the other facilities and then come see the luxury conditions at Turning Point. This facility has credited counselors that teach classes onsite so you are not trying to get transportation to the other programs required daily outside 12-step meetings. This place is wonderful compared to the conditions at the other treatment facilities. You imagine 12 months and you decide.
