The Turning Point New Zealand

A Holistic Approach to Detox

Peter Dawson founded Turning Point New Zealand in 2013 with a desire to add more detox services that were desperately needed in the Auckland area. Today, Turning Point offers medical detox and residential services in a comfortable environment. The detox and rehabilitation process is tailored for each guest, and the duration of the stay is determined by the specific needs of the client. Throughout the detox process, clients are closely monitored 24/7 from experienced staff. Once stabilized, clients can participate in on-site AA/NA meetings, group therapy, and individual counseling. The client's treatment plans are constantly reviewed by the clinical director, ensuring that the client receives the care that's right for them. For those continuing on to residential treatment, clients move through a step-down process that consists of a relapse prevention plan, 12-Step facilitation, coping skills, several daily group sessions, and one individual session per week. Turning Point's holistic approach to recovery addresses the root cause of the addiction by utilizing DAPAANZ registered counselors and a specialized staff. Clients who complete 30 days of treatment qualify for the 24 month long continuing aftercare program for free. This program consists of 2 meetings per week on Monday and Friday nights.

Chef-Prepared Meals

Turning Point New Zealand's goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for clients to achieve long-term sobriety. The cozy home provides gender-specific accommodations with men and women housed on separate sides of the home. The home comes with spacious accommodations, chef-prepared meals, and ample outdoor seating. In addition, clients can enjoy daily meditation sessions along with on-site yoga classes. The Turning Point New Zealand offers compassionate care with a staff that truly understands addiction along with a peaceful environment.
