Support for families How to help someone

I arrived timid, scared, and ashamed of who I had become. Over the last 13 years, I’ve grown into a sober, respected member of society. Without Turning Point, I would not have experienced the successes I am now living. They have all become family.

For so long in my active addiction, I felt judged and looked down upon. Walking into a place where I felt truly seen, heard, and accepted gave me hope when I needed it most. Having people believe in me helped me begin to believe in myself again.

The Barre Turning Point Center has become an important part of my daily recovery. It’s a safe social space that provides the human connection I need. I’m grateful to have such a wonderful resource available.
