Structured Care for Complex Addiction and Eating Disorders

Turning Point of Tampa delivers highly structured treatment for adults facing substance use, eating disorders, and co-occurring mental health issues. Unlike many facilities, Turning Point applies the 12-step philosophy across both substance- and food-related disorders. Its eating disorder care blends abstinence-based principles with measured meal plans, portioning, and nutritional guidelines designed to reduce triggering foods — an approach often sought by people with longstanding compulsive patterns.

Integrated Veteran-Focused Treatment

Veterans and active-duty service members have access to Turning Point's dedicated Resolve Program, which addresses addiction alongside trauma, chronic pain, housing instability, and suicidal thoughts. This military-specific track incorporates behavioral health support into the facility’s full residential and outpatient services. VA Community Care Network approval allows eligible veterans to receive treatment at Turning Point with no out-of-pocket costs when referred through the VA system.

Full Continuum of Care on a Single Campus

Clients benefit from a full range of treatment levels — including detox, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient care — without having to transfer between separate providers or campuses. This stability fosters peer bonds, treatment consistency, and smoother transitions as clients progress through each stage of care.

Comprehensive Therapy With Clinical Depth

Daily schedules emphasize predictability, peer support, and accountability. Clinical care integrates multiple modalities, including family systems therapy, psychodrama, expressive arts, narrative therapy, and holistic services such as equine-assisted therapy. All services operate within the 12-step structure and are supported with strong medical and psychiatric oversight.

Long-Term Recovery Support and Aftercare

Recovery support continues long after discharge. Alumni can attend free, therapist-led aftercare groups that remain open-ended, encouraging lifelong peer connection and accountability. The program’s structured, community-based model supports sustained recovery while addressing relapse risk factors.

Considerations for Certain Patients

While many thrive in the highly structured environment, individuals with an eating disorder who seek a more flexible or intuitive approach may find the abstinence-based food protocol too rigid. The eating disorder program best suits those who benefit from strong external structure, peer accountability, and a highly consistent recovery environment.

What Patients Are Saying

Many describe Turning Point as life-changing, citing the structured program, supportive staff, and strong peer accountability. Alumni often credit it with breaking long cycles of addiction and disordered eating. Some reviewers, however, have noted areas for improvement, including variability in staff responsiveness, occasional delays in addressing individual needs, and a desire for greater access to one-on-one therapy.
