Turning Pointe for Families FAQs
How old do I have to be to enroll in treatment?

Do I have to be a mother to be in the Turning Pointe program?
No, we began accepting all adult women beginning September 2021.
Can my children reside with me during treatment at the Turning Pointe program?
Yes, you may have one child residing with you during your treatment if the child is under 12 months of age. We are not able to accommodate older siblings, but we can accommodate twins under 12 months of age.
What is the duration of the Turning Pointe program?
The average length of stay is determined on an individual basis and tailored to meet the needs of each specific individual.
Do you accept Medicaid?
WV Medicaid is accepted. We have case managers who can assist you in getting coverage if you do not already have it. We also accept private insurance.
Do you have to be court ordered to treatment?
You do not have to be court ordered to treatment. Self-referrals are always welcomed.
Do you accept clients on medication assisted treatment (MAT)?
Yes, we can accept already established MAT clients with a physician’s order and medical records.
Do you prescribe MAT for residential clients?
Yes, we can prescribe Suboxone, Vivitrol, and for the pregnant clients buprenorphine. We cannot prescribe methadone, but we will transport to the Beckley Treatment Center as needed. All pathways to recovery are welcomed and accepted.
I have a family member in jail who is in need of treatment. Can I make a referral on her behalf?
We encourage the potential client to make the referral whenever possible. However, we understand that is not always possible. You may use the “make a referral link” to submit your referral, but we cannot schedule a bed date until the client has made written or verbal contact with us. An incarcerated loved one usually has an attorney or counselor who can assist them in making a referral as well.
Can I have a phone?
No cell phones or laptops are permitted at Turning Point. They are often a trigger for leaving treatment against medical advice.
