Questions people ask about Turning Point Counseling Services

What treatment does Turning Point Counseling Services offer?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Fairbanks has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Turning Point Counseling Services offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Fairbanks, under a mile away.

Does Turning Point Counseling Services treat people who are pregnant?

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 15 named programs here.

Can a 16 year old be treated at Turning Point Counseling Services?

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Fairbanks has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Is telehealth available at Turning Point Counseling Services?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Fairbanks differ on it.

What does stepping down look like?

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

Is a second attempt treated differently?

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.

Can I get in today?

Availability changes week to week, which is why no listing page can tell you. Widening the search past your own county usually shortens the wait, because availability is uneven between neighboring areas. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
