The Turning Point New Zealand

Turning Point New Zealand was established by Peter Dawson in 2013 to meet the urgent demand for detoxification services in the Auckland region. Currently, Turning Point provides medical detoxification and residential treatment in a supportive and inviting atmosphere. Each individual's detox and rehabilitation journey is personalized, with the duration of stay tailored to their specific requirements. Employing a holistic and comprehensive approach, Turning Point NZ addresses both addiction and mental health issues, including assistance for quitting smoking. Therapeutic counseling plays a crucial role in supporting individuals' mental well-being during their recovery, focusing on the underlying issues related to their addiction, while medications are administered as necessary to ease withdrawal discomfort. The center’s holistic strategy tackles the fundamental causes of addiction, utilizing a team of specialized professionals, including counselors and therapists registered with DAPAANZ. Many staff members have personal experience with recovery, adding a distinct emotional depth to the support they provide. Individual and group therapy sessions integrate 12-Step principles to effectively confront the roots of addiction rather than merely its symptoms. A medical director supervises each patient’s treatment plan, making adjustments as required to best fulfill their needs. In the residential program, which can last from 28 to over 90 days, clients acquire skills for preventing relapse, develop healthy coping mechanisms, engage with the 12-Step process, and improve their physical health through nutritious meals and exercise. Patients who complete a 28-day program are eligible for Turning Point's comprehensive 24-month continuing care program, which includes two weekly meetings held on Mondays and Fridays. The center actively involves the families of patients in the healing process, providing access to resources, counseling, and a weekly Friends and Family 12-Step group. Coupled with extensive relapse prevention and mental health care, this program offers individuals a powerful step towards sustainable recovery. Turning Point New Zealand aims to create a safe and nurturing space for clients to attain long-term sobriety. The inviting residential setting features gender-specific accommodations, with men and women staying in separate areas of the facility. Clients enjoy generous living spaces, meals prepared by skilled chefs, and spacious outdoor areas for relaxation and meditation within their expansive 25-acre grounds. Daily meditation and on-site yoga classes enhance the wellness offerings at Turning Point.

The center specializes in the treatment of substance use disorders alongside related mental health issues. Our approach ensures that your treatment plan targets both conditions simultaneously, providing individualized and empathetic care for holistic recovery.
