Turning Point Australia 1 East

Residential

Ward 1 East, Box Hill, VIC, 3128

Turning Point Australia 1 East is a medically-monitored detox facility within Box Hill Hospital, offering specialized care for individuals with substance use and co-occurring mental health or medical concerns. The 8-bed unit provides safe and supervised detoxification for severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures. Patients can access the hospital via bus (302 City, 202 East Kew, 612 Box Hill), train (Belgrave/Lilydale line), or tram (109), with a short walk from stops. Entry is through the main entrance at 8 Arnold Street. Funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health, 1 East provides free care for Australian residents, ensuring high-quality support during early recovery stages. The program emphasizes safety, medical supervision, and individualized care for clients facing alcohol, opioid, methamphetamine, benzodiazepine, or synthetic drug dependence.

1 East combines medical detox with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using methadone or buprenorphine for opioid-dependent clients. Daily visits from doctors and peer support sessions help clients manage withdrawal symptoms while building early recovery skills. Family support is encouraged through information sessions, visiting hours, and phone calls after the initial 2-4 days. While the detox program lasts up to 7 days, Turning Point Australia provides a continuum of care with residential treatment at Wellington House and outpatient or online services for ongoing support. This integrated approach ensures clients transition smoothly from detox to longer-term recovery, addressing both substance use and co-occurring mental health needs effectively.
