Description:

Before 1975, New Jersey residents who could not afford private residential treatment for alcoholism had to travel to Graymoor in upstate New York for help. Turning Point’s founders were determined to change this situation. This group of local politicians arranged with Essex County for the lease of a building on Hilltop, former site of the TB center on the grounds of the Essex County Hospital. With the financial support and “sweat equity” of local members of Alcoholics Anonymous and other friends, the Men’s Staff Dormitory was transformed into a 10-bed residential treatment facility for the indigent alcoholic on St. Patrick’s Day—March 17, 1975. The Essex County Freeholders provided grant money to support Turning Point, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
