Do I have to pay to use Turning Point services?

Will anyone find out I am using your service?

I’m not sure if I have a problem. Will I be wasting your time?
Our colleagues have a lot of experience supporting people to decide what changes they want to make. We work with some people for a long time while others need only brief support.
I know someone who might have a problem. Can I refer them?
It’s brilliant that you can see how support could benefit the person – but they must be aware of the referral. You can accompany the person to support them attending. And because we understand that substance use can impact on friends and family, we offer a dedicated service to the family, friends, and carers of our service users.
I’m nervous about what happens next.
Don’t worry, lots of people are nervous when using the services for the first time, but our friendly team will put you at ease.
