Turning Point has been providing residential detox and rehab for over 30 years.
Using evidence-based therapies and peer support, we’ll support you to improve your physical and mental wellbeing, and gain a level of independent living that will stand you in good stead to achieve lasting recovery.
Our three CQC rated “Good” locations are at Smithfield Detox Unit in Central Manchester, Leigh Bank Therapeutic Community Rehab in Oldham, and Stanfield House Rehab in rural Cumbria. Our professional, qualified staff are a trusted part of the community, creating tailored recovery plans designed by experts for each individual struggling with drugs or alcohol.
Drug and alcohol detoxification
With a combination of compassionate care and effective treatment, we can support you to a more positive future by no longer being physically dependent on a substance.
When you undertake a detox, the focus is to improve physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing so your long-term recovery can be achieved. While detox can be challenging, our professional team are on hand 24/7 to support. They’ll manage your withdrawal symptoms and help give you confidence in taking the next step.
Our approach is very centred around the needs of each individual but typically, alcohol detoxes are 7 days and opiate detoxes are 21 days, with detoxes for other substances and respite from regular use of other non-addictive substances also being available.
To ensure that withdrawal symptoms are managed effectively, the units are staffed by mental health nurses and support workers 24 hours a day.
With symptoms being managed, a key aspect of recovery is in discovering who you are now and who you want to become. Peer mentors and volunteers ensure there are also activities aimed at creating a support network, building independence, and growing confidence for ongoing recovery.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation
Our residential treatment programme, provided through Stanfield House in Cumbria and Leigh Bank in Oldham, offers a structured environment where you’ll learn the skills and behaviours to maintain long-term recovery from substance use. This includes access to the wrap-around support needed to get you back on your feet.
Residential rehab programmes are bespoke in terms of their specific approach to individual needs, but there is a focus on providing a supportive and therapeutic environment that encourages personal growth, self-awareness, and positive change.
Our programmes incorporate evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI), and typically range from 12 weeks to 6 months in length.
As community support is important in facilitating change, we create a safe environment where you can embrace support and challenge from the peer group, participate in structured daily activities, independent living and engage with the community in a substance-free setting.
Support plans are put in place for aftercare as well as care co-ordination between our services and the local community.
