The Turning Point Home located in San Diego, California, stands apart from other recovery centers because it specifically caters to women struggling with substance abuse. It’s not far from Balboa Park and Golden Hill Park. It started serving women in 1970 and has provided personalized care ever since.

Counseling is a standout feature of The Turning Point Home. Besides individual and group therapy sessions, residents participate in creative arts therapy and recreational therapy sessions. These approaches allow profound non-verbal emotional expression which facilitates growth.

It’s also great that the facility offers animal therapy to promote emotional healing. This allows for care to be placed on co-occurring mental health illnesses enabling comprehensive care for women with dual diagnoses which is very important for recovery. So you can concentrate on recovery, you won’t be allowed to work or go to school during recovery. Visitors meet virtually on Zoom.

The continuum of care at The Turning Point Home extends thoughtfully with The 10th Step House. This isn't just a basic sober living facility; it's a self-governed, family-like residence where women who have successfully completed the initial treatment program can transition smoothly back into daily life with continued support.

Their commitment to accessibility by accepting Medi-Cal and offering payment assistance demonstrates a dedication that treatment is available to women regardless of their financial circumstances.
