About Turning Point
Serving the homeless, WestCare Turning Point Saint Petersburg is an emergency shelter in the commercial area of Saint Petersburg, Florida. They take inebriated adults off the street and provide a safe place for them to sleep. They offer cold night services as an intervention for those who have to sleep on the streets due to homelessness.
While you’re there, staff aim to link you to community resources for help such as recovery support, nutrition, temporary shelter, and the use of bathroom facilities. They may offer supportive counseling, settle them in a transitional living facility, or introduce you to a 12 Step group.
Special populations treated include those with co-occurring mental health challenges as they are likely to need extra help, and veterans. Many people say their lives were changed there because someone cared for them and gave them a chance.

Florida residents who are struggling with substance abuse don’t have to face their challenges alone. Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome addiction and make a full recovery.
Levels of Care
While each drug rehab in Florida is unique, most programs begin with detox. This process can last up to seven days. During that time, addictive substances are slowly removed from your system. Medication is often used to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
Inpatient drug rehab in Florida allows you to receive round-the-clock supervised care while living at the facility. A combination of treatment interventions is typically offered, including individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication management.
Outpatient rehab in Florida focuses on relapse prevention and long-term recovery. It typically includes several counseling sessions per week as well as membership in a support group such as NA or AA. This treatment can last several weeks or several months, based on your ongoing needs.
