About Turning Point Australia Carrington Road

Turning Point Australia Carrington Road is a free outpatient addiction treatment clinic serving Box Hill and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Operated as part of Turning Point Eastern Treatment Services, the clinic is often an accessible first step for adults seeking help with alcohol, drugs, gambling or related mental health concerns. Care begins with an individual assessment that considers substance use, wellbeing, personal circumstances and recovery goals. Clinicians then help each person identify an appropriate pathway, which may include individual counselling, specialist medical care, medication-assisted treatment, care coordination, virtual support or referral to detoxification and residential services at other locations. The clinic combines medical, holistic and evidence-based principles with individual planning and family involvement. Its multidisciplinary service model includes addiction medicine, psychiatry, nursing, psychology, social work and peer-informed care, supporting people with substance use disorders as well as anxiety, depression and other co-occurring concerns. Located close to Box Hill train and bus services, the Carrington Road clinic offers a practical community setting without overnight accommodation. The building is wheelchair accessible, and culturally responsive alcohol and drug support is available for Aboriginal people, their families and community members.
