Turning Point - WestCare Foundation

Turning Point is a shelter that helps people with substance abuse problems. It offers detox and support services for homeless individuals. The shelter takes in adults who are drunk and coming straight from the street. It provides a place to stay, including cold night shelter, for those who haven’t started recovery yet. Staff members give support and may refer people to other local programs. Many clients later move on to treatment at the Mustard Seed Inn. Please visit the website for more information.
