The Starting Point provides a multi-disciplinary approach in helping not only individuals but their families as well. This approach combines the expertise of specially trained and dedicated health-care professionals. Extending that commitment to the community, The Starting Point sponsors a selection of innovative educational programs and workshops.
Through education, referral to an appropriate source of treatment, exposure to the Twelve-Step philosophy, and the provision of many diverse services, The Starting Point is improving the quality of life for many people and the communities in which they live.

All services are conducted in an atmosphere of acceptance for the multitude of differences which humanity exhibits. We are committed to embracing all ethnic, religious, social, and racial groups, all sexual orientations, and we emphasize the need for recognizing the equality of both female and male genders.

The Starting Point is a non-profit, tax exempt organization that depends on fund raisers, United Way donations, and private donations to continue our existence. The giving of donations is strongly encouraged, as we strive to treat as many people in need as possible. We believe lack of financial resources should not be a hindrance to treatment.

The Starting Point, Inc. is a non-profit educational and referral center. The educational emphasis is on personal growth in the spirit of partnership. Our goals are holistic, integrative, and wellness-oriented. To achieve these goals we coordinate and facilitate many programs including appropriate referrals to counseling and psychotherapy, workshops, forums, Twelve-Step meetings, and weekend programs.
