Drug Rehab Centers in Palmetto, Florida

I live in another state now. I came into this place homeless after having been on a 1 year drinking binge, facing 70 years in two states. Initially, I was only here to "hide-out", and then I began seeing all these people come through who had the hope of sobriety. After staying here for one month, I was sober, had hope and turned myself in, that was the start of my current 9 years of sobriety. This is not a facility that is here to make money, it is hardcore and no frills, but looking back it was the best rehab I ever went to, all these places with millions of dollar budgets should take lessons from Turning Point, I will never forget it.

This place really does help you if you really want help and take it to get off whatever substance your on the doctors are great here and i have a great counselor Natalie she is always on top of her work.

The Mustard Seen Inn has a long and venerated history. The Inn opened on April 15, 1987 at 505 Sixth Street South, St. Petersburg, in an old, two story firetrap of a building. The founder, Carole Atkinson, performed her duties from a wheelchair, typically working 16 hour days. Carole and a core group of passionate volunteers including Randy (Indiana), Donald (local) and Valerie (Palm Harbor) hustled each day to keep the doors open and the residents fed. Carole was the definition of resourceful. We collected dated foodstuffs, day old bread and expiring baked goods daily from Publix. Blankets, beds, mattresses, pot, pans, anything and everything, was donated, borrowed or purchased. The landlord was a local family that owned dry cleaning establishments. They gave the Inn many breaks on the rent, which we barely made each month.The Inn picked up residents from Pinellas County Jail, shuttled them to Inn, helped them get ID, jobs, teeth, clothing and sobriety. I believe it was 1989 when the Inn secured a HUD Demonstration Block Grant for transitional housing to insure their existence for another two years.Although the Inn has undergone several changes in location and management over the years, it is my hope to commemorate the many wonderful people that founded The Mustard Seed Inn nearly 37 years ago on more than thoughts and prayers, but on blood, sweat and tears as well as genuine compassion for those suffering from addiction. They made their vision a reality and provided succor and comfort to the thousands of residents, family and friends of the Inn.
