About Us
Our Mission
We offer confidential, judgment-free recovery services at no cost to people living with, impacted by, or exploring concerns about harmful behaviors. Drawing from our own lived experience, we foster prevention, reduce stigma, and promote healing.
Our Vision
We live in an age of addiction. With universal support for prevention and recovery, we seek to create a compassionate, productive, and connected community where all individuals flourish.
About Us
Turning Point Center of Addison County is located at 79 Court Street in Middlebury, VT. Our center is one of 12 peer recovery centers in Vermont that focus on support for individuals and their families seeking recovery from substance use disorder and other addictions.
Our recovery support services help people rebuild their lives and become productive and engaged members of society. Volunteers and staff provide peer support, evidence-based services, educational programs, and recovery training in a safe and supportive environment. The Center is staffed by trained, knowledgeable people with a vested interest in recovery–primarily volunteers–who can connect individuals to appropriate community resources and offer one-to-one support. Turning Point Center regularly collaborates with other community organizations in an effort to help reduce redundancy of current community programs and provide the widest possible range of services and supports.
Funding for Turning Point Center is an investment in reducing incarceration, recidivism and other social expenses. Perhaps most importantly it is an investment in our future and quality of life. At current funding levels, keeping just one person out of prison for a year nearly pays for one center’s entire annual state grant. Our need for more funding support from our community has grown tremendously over the years as the depth of, and demand for, our services has increased.
