Details: Turning Point offers state-of-the-art substance abuse treatment and prevention for the whole family, and for the whole person. The recovery program helps the person and their family members follow their own path of healing – emotionally and spiritually. The Turning Point Youth Services program meets the rigorous standards for State and Drug Medi-Cal certification. These drug abuse prevention and counseling services are provided under contract with the Tulare County Health & Human Service Agency, Prevention Services Division. A child is chemically dependent when he uses drugs or alcohol as a crutch to avoid problems or emotional pain and cannot deal with these problems without drugs. Chemical dependency can happen to any child-regardless of social or economic background, academic standing, or how good their home life is. Chemical dependence has an impact on the whole family. Everyone in the family suffers when a member has a problem with drugs or drinking. Feelings of rage, shame, guilt, and helplessness, are common; feelings that are powerful enough to interfere with normal living. Families in this predicament become “stuckâ€-and their members may simply stop growing. Pregnant and parenting teens are especially vulnerable.
