About Turning Point Australia 1 East Box Hill Australia

Turning Point Australia's 1 East unit provides specialized, medically-monitored detoxification services within Box Hill Hospital. This 8-bed facility is equipped to manage severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, while treating dependencies on alcohol, opioids, synthetic drugs, methamphetamine, and illicit benzodiazepines. For individuals with opioid dependence, the program offers medication-assisted treatment using methadone or buprenorphine for stabilization. Patients receive daily physician visits and valuable peer support from others with lived experience of substance use disorders. The program typically runs for seven days, with family information sessions available and visitor access permitted after the initial 2-4 days of treatment. As part of the broader Turning Point Australia network, funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health, 1 East provides free care for Australian residents. Following detoxification, patients can transition to continuing care through Turning Point's Wellington House residential facility or access outpatient services at various locations and online. The facility is conveniently accessible via multiple public transportation options, including bus routes 302, 202, and 612, the Belgrave/Lilydale train line, and tram service 109, with the main entrance located at 8 Arnold Street.
