About Turning Point Center of Bennington County
Turning Point Center of Bennington County is a peer led recovery support organization in Bennington, Vermont offering free and confidential services for clients and families affected by alcohol and substance use disorder.
I discovered they are not a clinical rehab but provide peer recovery coaching and harm reduction resources as well as wellness programming, and connections to treatment and community services.
They are staffed entirely by addicts in recovery or who have been impacted by a loved one's addiction.
Peer Recovery Programs and Support Services
Support begins with a welcoming conversation and a one-on-one assessment of needs where staff help clients or family members identify goals and connect with appropriate resources.
Clients can access ongoing peer coaching, recovery groups, and referrals to clinical treatment or medication assisted treatment through community partners.
Clients can expect peer recovery coaching and family coaching, wellness groups, and intensive substance use disorder groups for men and women on probation or parole.
I noted the organization also operates Paradise Men's Recovery House which is a substance free transitional housing program for men stepping down from treatment into independent living.
