Questions people ask about Transformations Care
What treatment does Transformations Care offer?
They provide inpatient hospital, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Gardena is set up for.
Can you detox at Transformations Care?
They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Gardena.
Does Transformations Care take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Gardena send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
Is Transformations Care an option for someone over 65?
Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Gardena, because a wide age range often still means one room.
Does Transformations Care offer appointments by video?
Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Gardena differ on it.
Are there free support meetings in Gardena?
Alongside this, Gardena has 93 NA meetings and 12 free AA meetings.
What does the first conversation cover?
It is a set of questions about what is being used, your health, and what you are covered for. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Call (844) 822-5800 and that first conversation can happen now rather than being scheduled.
Is medication just swapping one drug for another?
It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Buprenorphine and methadone both act on the same receptors as other opioids, which is precisely why they hold withdrawal off. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.
