Treatment combines practical, goal-focused approaches that help individuals understand thoughts and behaviors, manage emotions, and recover from trauma. Care may be provided in person or through secure telehealth. For urgent needs, a 24/7 hotline, mobile crisis response, and the Turning Point Stabilization home ensure immediate, short-term support in safe environments. Ongoing care includes therapy, coping-skills development, and medication management. Group sessions build connection and peer encouragement, while community-based programs assist with housing, food, transportation, and essential forms. Staff meet clients in homes, schools, and community settings, ensuring support is consistent, respectful, and focused on safety, stability, and long-term recovery.
