Court Ordered Treatment

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that a “substantial prison population in the United States is strongly connected to drug-related offenses. While the exact rates of inmates with substance use disorders (SUD) is difficult to measure, some research shows that an estimated 65% percent of the United States prison population has an active substance use disorder. Another 20% percent did not meet the official criteria for an SUD but were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of their crime”. 

Turning Point believes that holding offenders accountable for their behavior while addressing their SUD provides an opportunity to reduce recidivism. We have witnessed many individuals receive the help they needed and go on to become productive and respected members of society.

Turning Point contracts with the Michigan Department of Corrections to provide treatment services for Circuit Court non-violent felony offenders that have substance use disorders. 

Referrals for this program can come from any county Circuit Court within the State of Michigan

Turning Point contracts with Oakland County Community Corrections to provide treatment services for Oakland County District Courts as an alternative to incarceration for misdemeanor offenders with substance use disorders.  

The Court Ordered Facility is separate from our Short and Long-Term treatment facility.
