The Turning Point Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Turning Point is a men's sober living home in Greenville, South Carolina, in Greenville County. It appears on the male sober living list published by the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, which supervising officers use to place men leaving custody. The address is not published.

A Men's Sober House Used for Reentry Placement

Houses on the state supervision agency's list take men whose immediate problem is an address. A release date without one usually means a shelter or a couch in the same neighborhood where the using happened, and the small group of operators willing to take those placements are the ones that decide how the first month goes.

Recovery Housing in Greenville County

Greenville is the seat of the county and the largest city in the Upstate, with Prisma Health's main campus, Greenville Technical College, the county courthouse and probation offices, and a service and manufacturing economy that hires steadily along the Interstate 85 corridor. Meetings run across the city throughout the day.

What an Uncertified Sober Living Home Should Tell You

The house is not on the certified list published by the South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification is voluntary in South Carolina, so absence is not a mark against a house, though only certified homes may take court-ordered placements. Ask for the fee and what it covers, the house rules and discharge policy in writing, and who reviews a complaint about the house.

What to Ask This Greenville Sober House

First contact is by phone. Ask how many men live in the house, what the weekly fee covers, whether a manager lives on site, what the policy is on medication for opioid use disorder, and what the house expects in the first thirty days.
