Addiction Resource Score
Scoring is assigned by a proprietary system which helps surface key metrics that determine quality. The 10-point scale factors in categories such as operations, customer satisfaction, and trust metrics.
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That's why we've developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You'll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.

A family-run addiction and mental health treatment facility, Turning Point of Tampa is situated in Tampa, Florida. It provides a broad variety of all-inclusive treatments, such as detox programs, residential treatment, intense outpatient care, and aftercare programs. Founded in 1987, Turning Point is committed to using a constant application of 12-Step principles to assist people in overcoming eating disorders, addiction, and dual-diagnosis challenges. The hospital is renowned for its systematic and individualized approach to rehabilitation, which combines psychiatric treatment, therapeutic interventions, and the 12-Step philosophy.
Turning Point of Tampa offers therapy via TRICARE and the community care network, as well as customized programs designed to address the needs of veterans. The facility works closely with the VA as a recommended provider to make sure veterans may get the treatment they need. With therapies designed to precisely target problems including binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, rumination disorder, and avoidant restricted food intake disorder, the clinic also tackles the special issues of co-occurring mental health and eating disorders.
The therapeutic approach at Turning Point incorporates alternative modalities like expressive arts and horse therapy with conventional treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma therapy. Through their therapeutic journey, clients in equine therapy form a bond with the horses and learn how to take care of them, which helps in their emotional processing and promotes a greater sense of self-awareness. The goal of this holistic approach is to treat the client’s mind, body, and soul while creating a nurturing atmosphere that allows them to flourish.
Turning Point of Tampa, licensed by ASAM and accredited by the Joint Commission, is dedicated to upholding the best standards of care. The facility’s commitment to high-quality and moral treatment procedures is further shown by the fact that it has been LegitScript confirmed since November 2019. A wide spectrum of people seeking treatment may visit the facility since it is an in-network provider for many major insurance plans and accepts the majority of them.
