I am a living witness of how incompetence is present even in centers that supposedly exist to help people in need, they clearly don't understand people in conditions like mine, they are so disorganized and unprofessional that I needed to leave the program.
About The Transformation Center
Since 2001, they’ve helped adult women reach their recovery goals with customized treatment plans. You’ll benefit from a whole-person approach with treatment best practices for healing your mind, body, and soul.
They provide partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, meaning you can receive immersive care while living at home. You can participate in private and group sessions with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), experiential groups and more.
What stands out most to me are their holistic approaches. They help you nurture the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects that contribute to sustained recovery. You can participate in yoga, music therapy, art therapy and more. These practices can help you discover new ways to express yourself while gaining essential recovery skills. That way you can leave treatment with helpful self-care tools to promote long-term sobriety.
Another nice feature I noticed was their trauma recovery services. You’ll benefit from tailored approaches to help you address and overcome previous traumatic experiences. They understand that trauma can greatly influence addiction and your receptiveness to treatment. You can participate in group and individual therapy to heal these symptoms and develop coping skills.
I also think it’s great that they offer medication management services for youth and adults. This service helps you properly administer your medications to reduce potential challenges. You’ll benefit from keeping track of your medications and reducing risks associated with incorrect dosing.

If you're seeking to enhance your quality of life and need assistance with managing various challenges such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and more, this is the place to turn to. I’ve read some of the negative reviews and I don’t agree with people saying that team of professionals don’t really help. Truth be told that if you’re going anywhere expecting someone to fix you then that is the root of the problem. You have to WANT to help yourself first, putting in the hard work that it takes before anyone can help you. My experience with them was exceptional and far surpassed my expectations. Making the decision to seek their help was one of the best choices I've made in selecting my healthcare team. The fact that my family and friends have noticed changes in my behavior and actions demonstrates their expertise and effectiveness. I've never encountered a facility where so many therapists, the doctor, nurse, and administrative staff work seamlessly as a cohesive team. Elizabeth, Rob, Laura, Star, Stuart, Jennifer, Trina, Mitch, Danielle, Shelby, and Justin will make things happen for you, again, if you’re putting in the work! Their administrative team, Angel and Andrea are the absolute BEST! Their nurse, Monica has me remembering my medications by memory including the dosages/frequencies. And Dr. Raj is authentic, he listens, and will keep it real with you. Therefore, if you're committed to making positive changes and gaining control over the issues I mentioned, this organized team of professionals can assist you in achieving your goals. Thank me later!
Zero stars if I could.
I went to the Transformation Center in Memphis for IOP starting in mid-August, three days a week for about 2 ½ weeks. In that entire time, I only got two individual sessions. Group sessions were hit or miss — some were okay, but many felt like a complete waste because every time I tried to share, I was redirected to “bring it up in individual therapy.” Problem is, you only get one individual session a week. So basically, I felt silenced instead of supported.
Then, during one of my rare individual sessions, my counselor and the director cornered me. Instead of encouragement, they bombarded me, saying I’d made “no improvement” and that I needed to step up to PHP. That made no sense — my meds are already handled by an outside psychiatrist, and if I truly needed more help, why would their only options be jump to PHP or get discharged completely? Think about that — they claim I need a higher level of care, yet they’re fine with kicking me out entirely.
The director, in particular, was unbelievably rude and cold. She didn’t listen, didn’t care what I had to say, and spoke down to me like I was a child. It felt less like mental health care and more like being pushed around until I agreed with them.
I left feeling worse than when I started. This place does not care about helping people — they care about control and pushing their own agenda. If you actually want compassion, understanding, and a team willing to work with you, do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. Even though all the paperwork, you sign states that you’re entitled to a treatment plan that works best for you, They don’t stick to it.
There were obviously a few counselors that were in there that were Great during group sessions, but some fell short. At the end of the day, I did not let the director bully me into going into PHP and I asked to be discharged.
The classes and representatives were very helpful and kind.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Clients in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) receive robust, personalized care to support their reintegration into their community. Clients stepping down from inpatient treatment frequently enroll in IOP before entering standard outpatient care or community-based recovery programs, such as AA. Intensive outpatient treatment generally involves between nine and 20 therapeutic hours weekly, with the frequency and duration of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. IOP services commonly include counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient option for those with moderate to severe addictions, allowing you to return home at the end of the day. It can be an alternative to hospitalization or used as a step-down option. PHP treatment requires a minimum of 20 hours of treatment per week for an average of 90 days. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment includes relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. PHP treatment is often covered by providers.
When enrolld in an addiction recovery program that's based on the 12 step model, clients are able to cultivate recovery-focused life skills emphasizing spiritual, mental, and emotional healing. Participants receive intensive peer support in 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, open to the public, and available day and night in most communities. Self-selected sponsors guide sponsees through the recovery journey, cultivating self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, participants aren't required to be religiously affiliated.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more.

Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Recreational therapy supports addiction recovery by giving you structured activities that promote physical and mental health. These help build a supportive network of your peers that promotes sobriety. Activities can include sports, creative arts, and outdoor adventures that help you reduce cravings, manage stress, and give you an emotional outlet.
