Anyone tapering an addictive drug must be compassionately guided. This is especially true for benzos. Our team exudes kindness and encouragement.
Our Mission
POINT OF RETURN, INC. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, public benefit organization that was established in 2004 to assist individuals physically dependent on addictive prescription medications and seeking a way to step down safely. We provide drug free health strategies and specialized supplementation for improved mental and physical wellbeing. There are many options for illegal drug addicts, but innocent addiction is overlooked, and this is where we place our focus. Our program is a safe, proven method to withdraw at home under our expert guidance with the involvement of your medical professional. And yes, we know you need relief and healing throughout the process in order to attain your goals. We also identify interaction items that may increase symptoms - this includes vitamins, herbs, over-the-counter items and some foods and customize a program for each person. Our in-home program has been used in 78 countries and in every state of the United States.
Experience Counts
The Point of Return medical and service team has decades of experience assisting with the unique medical
and emotional challenges of addictive medications. Our holistic approach to treatment considers the impact
on the whole person while they slowly taper under our guidance from their home. Read more...
Alesandra Rain
co-founder - author - prescription drug expert - humanitarian
Alesandra Rain co-founded Point of Return 14 years ago after ten years on a cockatil of psychoactive medications led to 3 months in treatment trying to regain her sanity. Alesandra was cold-turkeyed off Klonopin, Restoril, Ambien, Effexor, Sinequan, Oxycontin, Hydrocodone and Zanaflex. "A cold-turkey from multiple benzos, sleeping pills, antidepressants, painkillers and muscle relaxers was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. Although I owe my life to the wonderful team at Cirque Lodge, I do not think most could survive a cold-turkey from 8 drugs. The formation of Point of Return has allowed people to gently taper and avoid what I went through. I am proud of the team at Point of Return and although I completely healed, I never forgot and promised God that I would help others regain their lives."
Alesandra Rain - co-founder, author of Take as Directed
Take as Directed is included in the Withdrawal Program as an e-book or you can purchase it separately in our store.
