About Turning Point System of Care
Turning Point System of Care is a Joint Commission-accredited, non-profit substance use treatment facility located at 1234 North Courtland Avenue in Kokomo, Indiana. Described on its own website as a trusted central Indiana provider for addiction recovery and mental health crisis services, the center operates under the Jane Pauley Community Health Center umbrella and serves Howard County and the surrounding region. For individuals facing a substance use crisis, Turning Point offers a structured entry point into care that begins at the medical level.
The facility provides four distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, an outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Medical detox is the highest-acuity service offered, providing supervised withdrawal management for adults who need clinical support before stepping into longer-term treatment. Residential treatment offers continued round-the-clock structure following detox, while the IOP and standard outpatient levels support those who require less intensive programming or are transitioning out of higher levels of care.
Turning Point addresses co-occurring disorders alongside substance use, meaning adults managing both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder can receive integrated care at the same facility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used. The facility operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and its Joint Commission accreditation reflects adherence to nationally recognized standards of care.
Turning Point serves men, women, court-ordered individuals, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing — a broader access commitment than many facilities in the region. Payment options include Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay or cash, and a sliding scale fee structure, making the full continuum of care — from medical detox through outpatient — accessible across a range of financial situations. Individuals or families can reach the center by phone at (765) 860-8365 or by email at patientexperience@janepauleychc.org.
