Peter and the staff at Turning Point actually saved my life. The team helped me not only to detox but to rediscover who i am and showed me there is a better way to live. Everyone there is so caring and loving but at the same time very professional in their approach to rehabilitation. I am so grateful for everything that Peter and Turning Point has helped me with, it is truly a special place which i feel is like a second home and they are my family.For anyone considering detox and help with addiction i highly recommend Turning Point. Thank you so much Peter!
I was at the lowest point of my life with massive drug and alcohol problems. My employer gave me the choice of rehab or getting fired. I never thought I would be able to stop taking drugs. Getting help from Peter Dawson and his caring peer support workers helped me get clean and now I work hard every day with the skills I've learned to stay clean a day at a time. 4 months clean and sober , my life has never been better.
The Turning Point has changed my life. Such an amazing place to be when I was at my lowest point physically, emotionally and spiritually. The staff are so kind and nurturing and have experience and wisdom to help you through the darkest most uncomfortable times. I have met so many new friends who I now consider family and made an amazing support network to help me through my days. I couldn’t recommend The Turning Point enough for anyone struggling with addiction. This experience helped me through more than just my addiction, and I have had some amazing experiences through the program. So so grateful to have found Peter and the rest of the Turning Point family.
I support Brett's view above. The Turning Point was a Godsend. Pete's contribution and encouragement was essential to Brett's rehabilitation. I don't say this lightly. Peter is only one cog in The Turning Point but his patience and understanding makes it work.
Quite simply the turning point has changed my life forever , after 25 years of drinking problems I was ready to stop I was sick and tired of being sick and tired , I had tried everything to stop on my own. Pete and his team showed and made me realise that I can't drink at all , but not picking up is only the first step , he gave me through the 12 steps a template for living a happy and much richer life and to be a better man and husband to my wife. The turning point is a private rehab and costs but for my wife, family and I this is by far the best investment we have ever made , there is no price on my life , and my drinking if left was certainly going to head into very dark places.
The turning point isn't a magic wand , you have to want to change and be willing and if you are then Pete and his team will show you the love and compassion and the way to a better life . I am nearly 8 months sober today and there is no way I would be today if I didn't gather up the courage and make that call to Pete. I am in regular contact still and the turning point is and always will be part of my family and life , while the turning point is a business I experienced nothing but genuine care and compassion, Pete and his staff have gone through addictions themselves and genuinely have a compassion to see others get better.
I spent time at the Nelson branch and you couldn't get a more tranquil and amazing place, I recommend it to any one in the cities of NZ if they want to get out of their environment and start a new amazing journey.
