Our Story

At Turning Point of Tampa, we understand that it’s a privilege to help people redefine themselves through the gift of recovery.

Since 1987, Turning Point of Tampa has been a family-owned facility focused on 12-Step oriented, quality client care on one campus.

Our CEO, Robin Piper, is also our Clinical Director. She is involved in each individual’s treatment experience, chairing our multi-disciplinary staff meeting every day and facilitating our family groups every week.

At Turning Point of Tampa, our programs feature highly-credentialed staff providing real structure, teaching clients how to practice 12-Step principles, in a residential setting where solid group counseling is the keystone. Our mission is to provide effective 12-Step based addiction treatment that is affordable and maintains high clinical standards and quality of care.

We specialize in treating Addiction, Eating Disorders and Dual Diagnosis. We are accredited by the Joint Commission and are a licensed provider of residential, PHP, and IOP programs. We strive to create a “life-like” environment, focusing on recovery through responsibility. To date, we have carried the message of recovery to over 12,000 clients.

We know that now there are more places than ever for someone to get help. If we are not the best place for your family, we will tell you and we will help you find it. We want you to know that if you call Turning Point of Tampa, you won’t reach a call center. When our clients arrive, they meet the person who answered the phone. They receive services that are both structured and individualized. Our services are affordable and we are in-network with most insurance providers. From the overnight technician, to the chief executive, we get to know each client and they get to know us. We will do everything we can to help every client get better.
