Thanks to the turning point , the amazing support workers & in house care I’m proud to say making the decision to come here for treatment has been the best thing I could have done for myself & my future. After 10 years I’m officially 3 weeks (and counting) sober, deeply connecting with amazing friends of recovery and sobriety that I know will be friends for life. Thank you so much to Pete, Joe, Tina, Jason, Nicole, Candice, Andrew & Kyle you guys have changed my life. I will never be able to repay you for giving me a leg up in getting my life back, the constant support & live skills to be able to action everyday for success plus the most amazing in house care, I miss the food already! The turning point, saved my life & gave a mother back to my children, a daughter to my parents and a more than decent human to society!

The Turning Point has changed my life. Such an amazing place to be when I was at my lowest point physically, emotionally and spiritually. The staff are so kind and nurturing and have experience and wisdom to help you through the darkest most uncomfortable times. I have met so many new friends who I now consider family and made an amazing support network to help me through my days. I couldn’t recommend The Turning Point enough for anyone struggling with addiction. This experience helped me through more than just my addiction, and I have had some amazing experiences through the program. So so grateful to have found Peter and the rest of the Turning Point family.

Peter and the staff at Turning Point actually saved my life. The team helped me not only to detox but to rediscover who i am and showed me there is a better way to live. Everyone there is so caring and loving but at the same time very professional in their approach to rehabilitation. I am so grateful for everything that Peter and Turning Point has helped me with, it is truly a special place which i feel is like a second home and they are my family.For anyone considering detox and help with addiction i highly recommend Turning Point. Thank you so much Peter!

I had the privilege of attending The Turning Point in December 2022. When I arrived I was a mess, at my lowest point, having nearly lost everything which I hold dear. Peter and his team supported me and helped me to believe in myself again and take control of my life again. Peter and his team treat me like family and that support and sense of connection has been paramount in my recovery. They genuinely care and want us to succeed in our recovery in order to live a life beyond our wildest dreams, free from our addictions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping a little boy get his mum back. Alofa tele, Lauren

Discovering The Turning Point truelly was the turning point of my life. Peter Dawson and the amazing staff at this facility gave me hope when I had none left. I spent 30 days at The Turning Point 5 months ago and my time there really did save my life. When I arrived I had given up hope, my family were desperate and scared as was I. This incredible place and it's wonderful caring, compassionate and experienced team have given me back my life, they have given me a life, a life free from the bondage of alcohol. They have given my family their daughter and sister back. I am so thankful to Peter and the team as is my family and am eternally grateful that this wonderful facility exists. I have another family now and receive ongoing support and care from Peter the Turning Point team.

Believe in yourself. You are worth it. I attended The Turning Point at a time in my life that I no longer wanted to be a part of life any more. At the time, I would have been happy to have been shown the exit door to existence. I had no hope left. I believed I was broken beyond repair and attendance there was just putting off the inevitable. I'm happy to say that the staff at The Turning Point helped me to change my thoughts on life and supported me back to a place of health, choice, happiness and serenity. They have a holistic approach that is real, down to earth and relatable. My attitude on arrival there was dismal. Vile, really, and I quickly came to realise that I was not going to get any value out of the program if I did not participate with an open mind and try everything on offer - lets face it, everything I had tried hadn't worked. It was time to let someone else have a try at 'fixing' me. They know what they are talking about. Many have lived the experience of addiction and can relate to guests stories with their own life experience. The Turning Point accepts anyone who needs help without judgement, with compassion, where they are, at the time they need help. The Peer Support workers are magic and the AOD Counsellor is a godsend. These people will help you get your life back. I have noted that there are some negative reviews placed that claim that the staff have written all good reviews. I can only speak for my own experience and about my own review. I am not staff. I suspect that those who have not had a good experience were not ready yet for recovery. Nobody can force a person out of an addiction, no matter how desperate their family is for their loved ones to return to health. The Turning Point extends a hand of help to support any person who has reached the point that they want their own recovery, health and sanity restored. I still go The Turning Point returning a couple of times each week for their continuing care program to help me be strong in my recovery. I know that I am welcome at any time that I feel I want or need a safe place to be, or to see people who have become friends. Thanks TTP

I was a guest at the Turning point many months back and am now a public advocate of their facility. I suffered from Alcoholism for over 28 years and have since turned MY life around. This was partly due to determination and AA, but the support and care I was provided at The Turning Point and thereafter from my friends who I met from their program has given me the strength I needed to continue of my new life of sobriety. It was the supportive staff who have ALL suffered from addiction and now continue to live new enriching lives that gave me the motivation to push on. I would not hesitate to recommend Turning Point to ANY addict who TRULY has hit rock bottom and wants to recover in a caring and loving environment. There is no price I could put on what I experienced except that it was the best use of my funds and pays itself back. I volunteer four mornings on my week there before my actual job and value this time more than ever in my day other than I do spending time with my wife who now lives with a clean and sober loving husband. Keep the great work up Peter, Andrew, Helen and the wider team!
