WHO WE ARE

Turning Point offers aftercare substance abuse treatment and prevention and mental health treatment. The Aftercare program provides a comprehensive program of counseling and testing to facilitate the cessation of all illegal substance abuse for program clients. These drug abuse prevention, counseling, and mental health treatment services are provided under contract with the U.S. Court System.

Program Philosophy


The primary goal of the program is to provide substance abusers with relapse prevention skills so they can live in the community successfully. Clients unable to achieve this goal are identified and appropriate intervention is implemented. An individual who remains out in the community and lives a productive life without drugs or disabling mental health issues is a benefit to the entire community.

Jeremiah  fell into a deep depression after his wife and three children died in a car accident. He started drinking daily and developed an anger problem which led to the loss of his job and then two subsequent suicide attempts. Most recently, he was arrested and spent time for drug charges. His probation officer offered Fresno Federal Aftercare and with his head finally clear, Jerimiah agreed to participate. Since then, Jeremiah has engaged in therapy, where he has processed much of his grief and learned coping strategies to manage his anger. He is thankful for the intervention and has started dreaming of a future for himself.
