The Turning Point of Chenango County, operated by Friends of Recovery – Delaware and Otsego Counties (FOR-DO), serves as a recovery community hub offering vital support services to individuals affected by substance use and addiction. While its primary mission is centered on advocacy and peer-based recovery support, the organization also contributes to the hospitality and tourism industry through its welcoming community space and participation in local events and outreach. The Turning Point provides a safe, stigma-free environment where individuals can gather, attend workshops, and access resources, fostering community connection and inclusion.

Though not a traditional hospitality provider, the center enhances the local tourism experience by promoting health and well-being within Norwich, New York’s community fabric. Visitors and new residents alike benefit from engaging with cultural and educational events often held at the center. The organization’s presence reinforces Norwich’s reputation as a community-oriented and supportive destination, particularly for those exploring wellness and social service tourism. Their commitment to peer-led recovery, volunteerism, and positive community partnerships plays a subtle but meaningful role in the broader cultural tapestry of the area.
