A Turning Point, an emergency intervention shelter and inebriate receiving facility, provides emergency intervention shelter services for homeless adults with substance abuse issues. The shelter is the only facility (in the local area) that accepts inebriated adults directly from the street. A Turning Point is designed to provide temporary emergency shelter and cold night shelter services for individuals who have not yet begun their journey into recovery from alcohol and drug abuse.
In the A Turning Point program, WestCare staff members attempt to engage individuals by offering supportive services for up to 30 days. Clients may also be linked to community-based health and human services including temporary shelter, nourishment, shower facilities, case management, supportive counseling, skills building groups and 12-step meetings. Many clients transition into recovery support services and transitional living within WestCare at the Mustard Seed Inn located within minutes of the shelter. Special populations served by A Turning Point include veterans and individuals with co-occurring issues. Our wraparound services are tailored to the unique needs of the homeless population we serve.
Committed to proven methodologies, we address immediate challenges while striving for long-term stability and well-being. Our compassionate team stands ready to offer comprehensive support throughout the intake process and beyond.
