Admission Criteria and Referrals

As a specialized residential treatment facility, Turning Point Youth Center’s staff and treatment modality are specifically equipped to assist a certain population of youth:

• Males 12-17 years of age upon admission
• Possession of a mental illness with an Axis I diagnosis
• Adjudicated as delinquent
• IQ individually assessed (Full Scale IQ of 50 or above)
• Youths with IQ's between 50-68 are individually assessed for appropriateness

In order to best determine if a youth is appropriate for Turning Point’s treatment milieu, we recommend the following materials be included with any referral request:

• Intellectual, educational, & psychological assessments
• Social history/Dispositional Investigative Report
• Medical history
• Immunization records
• Previous treatment provider progress notes

¯ Referral information may be faxed to (989) 668-0549 or mailed directly to the facility.

An in-person interview may be requested to ensure the appropriateness of the referral. A referral may be denied if the youth is actively homicidal, possesses a history of sexual perpetrator behaviors, or is deemed medically unstable by Turning Point’s staff.
