Turning Point Crisis Center

About Turning Point Crisis Center – Oceanside, California

Turning Point Crisis Center is a short-term acute residential treatment facility located in Oceanside, California. It serves as an alternative to hospitalization for adults who are suffering an acute psychiatric crisis that is not manageable on an outpatient basis.

As a mental health crisis stabilization program that is licensed by the Department of Social Services, and certified by the Department of Healthcare Services, Turning Point is recognized as an evidence-based program that provides crisis intervention and residential treatment.

The residential program exists within a community-based, homelike environment, with a multidisciplinary team of counselors, clinicians, nurses, psychiatrists and peers who specialize in psychosocial rehabilitation. Men and women who need help with psychiatric conditions stay an average of length of nine days while receiving acute mental health support. A biopsychosocial approach to transformation is implemented, which helps connect participants with a variety of social service supports within their own community.

A typical day includes a community meeting, individual therapy, and the implementation of evidence-based therapies that help address mental health, substance abuse, and transition issues. Group counseling is provided twice a day. Meals serve as the time for connection to take place to avoid isolation and build a sense of community.

Mental health treatment focuses on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and other challenging psychiatric conditions. At Turning Point, those with dual diagnosis will receive treatment for the mental health conditions in conjunction with their substance use disorder. Psychiatrists will administer medications as needed.

Group therapy involves treatment through the process of connecting in a group setting to discuss and work through mental, emotional, and physical issues. There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more.
