Community-Based Programs to Help You Along the Way
Our Community-Based Programs offer residential and after-care programs to support individuals in recovery from problematic substance use. We believe recovery is possible for everyone and provide the support and resources necessary for lasting change.
Our aim is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for healing. Together, we’ll help you reclaim your life from addiction and build a healthier future.
Turning Point Outreach Community Counselling (TPOCC Program)
The TPOCC Program provides short-term counselling and referral to longer term supports for individuals living with substance use disorders, and who are either transitioning to other levels of support, or are otherwise at risk of overdose.
The program provides up to 12 free individual counselling sessions for individuals struggling with substance use and mental health challenges who live within the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) catchment area. We receive referrals from VCH mental health and addiction resources, such as Vancouver Detox, START home detox, Raven Song, Onsite, Junction, and the Robert & Lilly Lee Community Health Centre.

Parents Forever
Parents Forever is a financially and professionally supported mutual support group for parents and family members of adults struggling with substance use, mental health issues or both. Funded by Vancouver Coastal Health and managed by Turning Point Recovery Society, we have been helping families navigate these challenges since 2000.
At the center of our work is you. We strive to help families learn new ways of coping and maintaining a connection with their struggling loved ones. Since 2000, we’ve been led by founder and veteran facilitator Frances Kenny. We are an experienced, reliable and compassionate source of support and education.
Aftercare Program
Addiction recovery is a long-term process that continues after treatment. Our Aftercare Program provides ongoing support after treatment, helping you anticipate future challenges to your sobriety and come up with solutions in advance.
At Turning Point, we work with you to create an individualized care plan. The aim is to focus on the life goals you would like to work towards as part of your early recovery and a plan to prevent relapse. Your plan may include activities, interventions, and resources to help you manage triggers, stress, and cravings. Each person’s care plan will vary based upon their individual needs.
