Frequently Asked Questions on Drug Rehab Residential Programs


executive drug treatmentWho can benefit from an executive drug treatment program?
Our treatment program is designed for adults (over 18) who have a history of alcohol or other substance abuse. We also offer medically managed detox. To participate in our program, clients must be able to function independently in our residential environment.

How long does a treatment program last at Turning Point?
We firmly believe that recovery can't happen on a timetable. Each client's program is tailored to his or her individual needs, based on the severity of their condition upon admission. While we encourage our clients to progress as quickly as they are able, we focus on assuring a firm foundation for long-term recovery, believing this to be a better measure of progress than any randomly chosen number of days on a calendar.

Will insurance cover the costs associated with drug rehab residential?
Turning Point Treatment Center does not accept any form of insurance. Why? First, this ensures the complete confidentiality of our clients. Second, it allows us to structure a personalized program based on the client's needs, rather than a third party's predetermination.

Because the drug rehab residential plan is developed by a team of clinical specialists, our clients receive the services they need and ultimately, achieve better outcomes.

In the ever-changing world of medical insurance coverage, it is becoming increasingly common for insurance companies not to cover residential treatment, regardless of the treatment provider.

drug rehab residentialWhat is the program of treatment at Turning Point?
Immediately after a client is admitted, he or she meets with a clinician to participate in designing and individualized treatment program. This program has two primary objectives: achieving long-term recovery and becoming prepared for re-entry into normal living routines.

Clients participate in therapeutic activities every weekday, under the guidance of their primary counselor. These activities include group and individual therapy, and attending daily 12 Step meetings.

Clients live in a very comfortable home-like setting, and function together as a household. This means clients will participate in meal preparation, shopping and other responsibilities in support of the household.

While recovery involves hard work, commitment and daily challenges, we encourage our clients to enjoy themselves and re-learn what it's like to "have fun" again. Our facility is ideally located to enjoy all the recreational and cultural activities Southern California has to offer.

substance abuse interventionWhat should a client bring when entering treatment at Turning Point?
Clients may bring personal clothing (appropriate to the therapeutic setting), including casual attire, beachwear and "dress casual" clothes. Personal toiletries are also allowed (although none may contain alcohol), as well as other items that will contribute to the client's comfort during his or her stay.

No pets are allowed, and clients' personal vehicles cannot be brought to Turning Point.

The most important item a client can bring is an open mind. We have developed an outstanding treatment program that can be the start of a new life for our clients, and we want them to be prepared to take advantage of everything we can offer.

If a new client currently takes prescribed medications (for anxiety, depression or other conditions), how will Turning Point manage that process?
We value the role medications can play in helping clients achieve successful and lasting recovery, and better quality of life. After receiving confirmation and approval by the client's prescribing physician, Turning Point staff will supervise the client's self-administration of any appropriate medications.
