<p><strong>ABOUT TURNING POINT, INC.</strong></p> <p>Operating for over 30 years and based out of Houston, Texas, Turning Point, Inc. provides residential alcohol and drug treatment for <strong>adults and adolescents (ages 13 to 17) currently incarcerated</strong> due to issues related to substance abuse. In addition, Turning Point offers <strong>outpatient-based programs</strong> for adults and adolescents struggling with chemical dependency. Designed to reduce recidivism, the treatment provider's residential programs are offered through state jails.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Before beginning a treatment program, clients participate in an initial assessment to help clinicians determine individual needs. During the residential program, clients continue to receive ongoing <strong>assessments to evaluate treatment progress</strong>. According to Turning Leaf's website, the residential programs utilizes a combination of an <strong>evidence-based curriculum</strong>, "Thinking for a Change," specifically designed to <strong>modify criminal thinking</strong>, and a substance abuse treatment program created by Texas Christian University tailored to treat criminal offenders.</p> <p>The "Thinking for a Change" curriculum is a cognitive restructuring theory that is designed to promote <strong>social skills development and improve problem-solving</strong>. The program entails educational group workshops and regular assignments. Utilizing <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)</strong>, the substance abuse treatment component is designed to <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/why-healing-underlying-core-issues-is-key-to-addiction-recovery/" target="_blank">identify the relationship</a> between irrational thinking patterns, criminal behavior, and substance abuse. </p> <p>While participating Turning Leaf's residential program, clients may attend <strong>group counseling sessions and educational classes</strong> on substance abuse, relapse prevention, trigger avoidance, emotional regulation, and developing community-based support networks. Resident progress in the program is determined by a <strong>facility-based contingency system</strong>, helping inmates and program facilitators to set reachable goals. Once the inmate is released, program facilitators may encourage the individual to enroll into Turning Leaf's outpatient program.</p> <p>Unlike Turning Leaf's residential program, the outpatient program is not specifically designed for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Utilizing both cognitive behavioral therapy and <strong>motivational interviewing techniques</strong>, the outpatient program involves group therapy sessions, behavioral and <strong>coping skills workshops</strong>, and educational classes. The outpatient program typically <strong>lasts between three and six months</strong>.</p> <p>Turning Leaf, Inc. also emphasizes <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/the-secret-to-stopping-addiction-in-your-family-forever/" target="_blank">family involvement</a> as an important component to treatment, particularly for adolescent clients, to help ensure comprehensive aftercare planning and sustained recovery. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to its website, Turning Leaf's programs are facilitated by licensed chemical dependency counselors, peer specialists. criminal justice professionals, and case managers. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Turning Leaf, Inc. operates its adult residential programs through <strong>five state jails</strong> (Dominguez, Gist, Hutchins, Lychner, Plane and Travis) and its adolescent programs through <strong>three juvenile detention centers in Harris County</strong>. Although information is scarce concerning any separate living conditions other than general population, the facility's website states that residential programs are conducted in a "Social Learning Environment."</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole alum polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing, Jessica, was moderately critical of the program. Out of five stars, the alum gave two-star ratings for the facility's counseling options and the treatment staff's level of experience and training. Although citing an outlet to share their problems with others as a strength, the alum wrote: "Counselors never had time for one on one." However, Jessica gave more moderate three-star ratings for the amount of family participation in treatment. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs.</p>
