Turning Point provides specialist medication-based treatment for people experiencing opioid-related issues and other mental health concerns, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) such as methadone or buprenorphine. With MAT, clients are stabilized and then transitioned back to primary care once they have achieved remission from opioid use.

At Turning Point’s Church Street specialist addiction clinic, clients can access assessments for substance use and behavioral addictions like gambling. Assessments can be completed either in person or online, which helps those living in rural or remote areas. Sessions generally take around one hour. Addiction medicine clinicians assess symptoms, assist with diagnosis, and guide people to the most suitable services, sometimes providing short-term follow-up support.

The neuropsychology team works in partnership with the referring clinician to understand how traumatic brain injury, social factors, substance use, and other influences may be affecting a client’s thinking and memory. Turning Point collaborates with the referring provider to align any recommendations with the client’s goals, preferences, and strengths. Appointments may be conducted in person or via telehealth, depending on what’s needed to complete the neuropsychological assessment.

Turning Point also offers Online Services addressing substance use, behavioral addictions such as gambling, and other mental health concerns through online counseling, email-based support with clinicians, self-assessments, and moderated online community forums.
