About

About Transformations Care Inc

Transformations Care operates a residential and outpatient addiction treatment campus in Gardena, California, in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County. The program spans an unusually broad continuum, offering medical detox, residential inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and traditional outpatient programming for substance use disorders, plus parallel mental-health-only PHP, IOP, and outpatient tracks for clients whose primary presenting concern is psychiatric rather than substance-related.

The program specializes in personalized treatment plans built around each client’s clinical needs, substance history, and life circumstances. Substances treated include alcohol, methamphetamine, opioids, heroin, prescription drugs and painkillers, and cocaine, with medication-assisted treatment options including Suboxone and methadone available for opioid use disorder. Clinical Director Charleen Meyer (LMFT, ATR) brings both licensed marriage and family therapy and registered art therapy credentials to a clinical team that integrates CBT, individual and group therapy, family counseling, and an Inclusive Indigenous Wellness approach for clients drawn to culturally rooted recovery practices.

Transformations Care places a deliberate emphasis on family integration, recognizing that addiction rarely sits inside one person in isolation. Family integration services, structured family counseling, and an alumni aftercare program support both the client and their family system through and beyond treatment. The facility caters to a wide population mix including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, older adults, court-referred clients, and clients with co-occurring HIV/AIDS or trauma histories.

Transformations Care is accredited by The Joint Commission and is in-network with most major PPO plans including Aetna and Blue Shield of California. The program accepts TRICARE for military families, self-pay, and sliding-scale arrangements, but is explicit that it does not accept Medi-Cal or Medicare at this time. Insurance verification requires only an insurance card, full legal name, date of birth, and a callback number.

The facility maintains 24-hour medical supervision with established detox protocols to manage withdrawal symptoms and medical complications during the detoxification process.

The center offers multiple levels of care including residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programming to meet varying treatment needs.

The 6-bed residential facility provides private rooms and 24-hour support for patients requiring intensive supervision after completing detox. Treatment programming includes cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, group therapy, and family support services designed to address the psychological aspects of addiction following medical stabilization.

Specialized Populations and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

The facility provides culturally sensitive treatment approaches for diverse patient populations seeking withdrawal management services.

The center specializes in dual diagnosis treatment for patients with co-occurring mental health disorders alongside substance use disorders. Clinical Director Charleen Meyer (LMFT, ATR) oversees integrated treatment protocols addressing both addiction and mental health conditions during the detox and residential treatment phases.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options

Transformations Care accepts major insurance providers including Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, Medicare, and TRICARE for veterans seeking detox services. The facility works with insurance companies to verify coverage for medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient services.

For patients without insurance coverage, the center offers reasonable self-pay rates and sliding scale payment options to make detox services accessible. Financial counselors assist patients and families in understanding coverage options and payment plans for medically necessary withdrawal management and addiction treatment services.
