Ending addiction
We operate three programs, to help people overcome dependency:

Our Exodus Treatment Program, a medically-supervised chemical dependency program, provides up to 12 months of
individual and group therapy to clients who have been mandated for treatment by the New York City Department of Probation. Our Relapse Prevention Program is a 12-week program for clients from the community and those who are sent to us through the New York State Department of Parole.

Finding a home
We run three housing programs:
Turning Point Transitional Housing offers housing to 37 homeless young women in a family-style shelter. Counselors, along with
our education programs, help young women get the skills and build the self-esteem so vital to success.
Turning Point Red Hook—which we also call the Henry Street SRO—provides permanent housing to 31 formerly homeless young adults, ages 18-25. A live-in superintendent maintains the building and a full-time caseworker helps tenants to get the services and support they need to establish and maintain their independence.
Turning Point’s Scatter Site Housing Program provides 66 apartments to families and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. We supply tenants with fully furnished apartments; we maintain the apartments; and our client services staff provides a full array of case management services.
