Turning Point Centers offers evidence-based treatment programs for individuals with substance abuse issues and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our approach focuses on dual diagnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, and rational emotional therapy, instead of relying on a 12-step model. We provide both inpatient and outpatient programs, relapse prevention skills, and continuing care options.
ABOUT TURNING POINT CENTERS
Turning Point Centers is located in the mountains outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. We offer residential and outpatient-based treatment for adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our facility is one of 70 residential facilities in the state, and does not provide medical detox on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Turning Point Centers utilizes a range of evidence-based treatment approaches to help clients overcome substance abuse and mental health disorders. Our programming includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), which are offered through both individual and group counseling sessions.
During residential care, each client participates in two to three individual counseling sessions each week. They also meet weekly with the medical director and attend two family counseling sessions per month. Additionally, clients participate in psycho-educational groups, life skills workshops, and recreation activities.
For co-occurring mental health concerns, clients may participate in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) sessions and attend specialized dual diagnosis groups. Our residential treatment program lasts 30 days, and can be followed by up to 60 days of outpatient-based treatment.
The last week of residential treatment focuses on “relapse prevention” and introduces clients to the 12-step community. We offer a lifetime of aftercare for all successful graduates.
In addition to our residential program, we also have a separate facility that offers a weekday partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Both programs can be utilized as a step-down continuum of care.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
Turning Point Centers employs a board-certified physician and a team of licensed therapists, including two therapists who are licensed to practice eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES

We offer a gym and racquetball court at the main campus, as well as provisions for art, drumming, and ropes course therapy. The facility is located near the 640-acre Bell Canyon park with hiking trails. All meals are approved by a licensed nutritionist.
