Turning Point Australia 1 East

Part of the Turning Point Australia Network, 1 East offers medically-monitored detox for substance use and co-occurring mental health or other medical concerns. An 8-bed hospital unit within the Box Hill Hospital, 1 East has the capacity to help people with severe withdrawal symptoms, including withdrawal seizures. Box Hill Hospital is accessible by bus via the 302 City, 202 East Kew, and 612 Box Hill lines, by train via the Belgrave/Lilydale line, which stops 5-10 minutes away, and by tram via service number 109, with a 5 minute walk to the hospital. Patients must enter through the main entrance at 8 Arnold Street. Turning Point Australia is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and provides free care for Australian residents.
1 East offers treatment for substances such as alcohol, opioids, synthetic drugs, methamphetamine, and illicit benzodiazepines. In addition to medically-monitored detox, individuals with opioid dependence are stabilized via medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using methadone or buprenorphine. Clients receive daily visits from doctors as well as peer support from others with lived experience with substance use. 1 East offers information sessions for family members as well as visiting hours and phone calls after the initial 2-4 days of detox. Treatment at 1 East is limited to 7 days, but Turning Point offers continuing residential care at their Wellington House and outpatient treatment at several facilities or online.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Turning Point Australia 1 East offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 3 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment.
