A Letter
From the Executive Director
Welcome to
Turning Point:
Let me take this opportunity to
formally welcome you to our outpatient program.
We are a small outpatient service addressing
alcohol and substance abuse problems. Alcohol
and other drug abuse problems strike 1 out of 4
Americans in many different ways; we recognize
drug addiction and alcoholism as a treatable
disease.
It
is a disease that is primary. In other words it
is not a symptom of a problem – it is the
problem. It is a disease that is progressive, by
that we mean it starts as a behavioral habit and
eventually becomes unmanageable, leading to
insanity and death. We recognize this disease as
a family illness and deal with family and
relationship issues while in our counseling
program. We know that this disease does not
develop in a vacuum, and the treatment and care
must also include family members and loved ones.
|
|
We recognize that everyone who comes
to our program is in need of looking
at their use and abuse and it
is our goal to help, through
treatment, to change your behaviors
and help you to like who you are and
enhance your quality of life.
It
is important for you to know that we strongly
support the use of self-help programs;
particularly, Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics
Anonymous and Al-Anon (for spouse/partners).
|
|
We expect each and every person who is in our
program to attend self-help meetings throughout
our treatment sequence. We expect each and every
person attending our groups and individual
counseling to work on the first three steps of
the recovery program that will be long-lasting
and will benefit you and your loved ones. |
|
|
As the Director of Turning Point of
Central Florida, Inc., it is my goal
to provide the highest quality of
professional services to you and
your family members. If there is
anything I can do to make this
experience a more positive clinical
exposure, please feel free to ask to
see me or set up an appointment. All
of our staff are here for you, and
we want to work together to make
your counseling a profitable
experience. |
