A peer-run recovery center
Search for Executive Director
As of June 1, 2020, our current executive director, Gary De Carolis, will be resigning. For the past 7 years, Gary has worked to make the Center financially stable, programmatically rich and most importantly a safe and supportive environment for all those who are in recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction. Gary has been the public face of the Turning Point Center and it’s time for a new Executive Director to continue the Centers’ success. If this sounds like you, please apply.

Recovery Coaches
in the Emergency Department
Coaches draw on their own long-term recovery experiences to connect with others similarly affected by addiction. By being a member of an individual’s medical care team, Coaches use their first-hand knowledge to directly identify with the crisis that may have caused the patient to enter the Emergency Department.

What Our Guests Have to Say
I have both mental illness and alcoholism. I don’t work that much or go to school so instead of spending 24 hours in my apartment, I come here to make friends, be useful, and hopefully find recovery from my self-destructive behaviors.

The Turning Point for me has been a healthy, safe, and positive environment for to spend my time, reflect, and gain help and support. The Center brings a great opportunity to meet sober people and mingle among the sober community – something that is essential to my recovery. The Turning Point offers so much more than a chance for sobriety. The staff is helpful and wonderful, and I enjoy myself each time I visit.
– Jon
A great place to hang-out, especially in early recovery. You can meet new people who have a common goal, and get connected to a new community of clean individuals on their own paths to recovery.
