Turning Point of Arnold offers a unique healing experience in the mountains of California with an intimate 12-bed facility for men and women experiencing drug or alcohol addiction. The small setting allows experienced and compassionate staff to work more closely with clients, enabling more 1-on-1 attention.
Men and women experiencing addictions to alcohol or various substances begin their recovery journey in a comfortable and safe home-like setting. Treatment offers a blend of regularly scheduled individual counseling and didactic
group therapy, addressing topics while led by a therapist including anger management, relapse prevention, interpersonal skills, and stress management. Clients will have regular access to 12 Step recovery meetings and sponsorship in addition to psycho-educational classes, money management classes, vocational training and job placement support, self-esteem, self-worth, and identity building activities, and life skills development.
Clients participate in experiential outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, and nature-based therapies as a regular part of treatment. Family reunification is supported through weekly structured family days, where families are invited to join in on recreational activities and participate in
family therapy sessions with their loved ones in treatment.
Turning Point of Arnold offers extensive relapse prevention and aftercare services to set clients up for long-term success through on-going care. Aftercare includes optional
sober living in one of their transitional housing units (called Crossroads Transitional Living), care coordination for
outpatient programs and ongoing therapy, 12-Step community support, and follow-up with their clinical team to check on progress as part of their thorough exit planning for each client.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Turning Point of Arnold provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
