About Turning Point Australia Carrington Road
Located east of Melbourne in Box Hill, Turning Point Carrington Road offers outpatient and online treatment for substance use, process addictions, and co-occurring mental health concerns, as well as culture-informed treatment for aboriginal Australians. Carrington Road often serves as the initial point of contact for individuals seeking treatment for substance use. The Belgrave/Lilydale train line and Box Hill Central/Whitehorse tram stations provide easy access to the facility, requiring a short walk through the shopping center onto Carrington Road. The Box Hill bus station is also within a block, with access via multiple lines. Free parking in the area is limited, but paid parking is also available, with the Box Hill Central South lot closest. Turning Point Australia is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and provides free care for Australian residents.
Turning Point offers specialist pharmacotherapy treatment for individuals with opioid use concerns and other mental health concerns seeking medication-assisted treatment (MAT) like methadone or buprenorphine. Clients are stabilized with MAT and referred back to primary care after achieving remission from opioid use.
Turning Point’s Carrington Road specialist addiction clinic offers assessments for substance use and behavior addictions such as gambling. Assessment is available in person or online for those living in rural or more distant areas and typically lasts 1 hour. Addiction medicine specialists help diagnose individuals and refer them to appropriate care, at times engaging in short-term follow up treatment.
Aboriginal Australians can participate in a culture-informed program offering holistic care for substance use and other mental health concerns. Treatment involves psychoeducation, counseling, care coordination, and family involvement.
