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
Known as the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, Memphis, Tennessee is also home to The Transformation Center. You can access various levels of holistic outpatient care for eating disorders, mental health conditions, and addiction. They accept some insurance plans, including Cigna, Humana, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield and United Healthcare.
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.

The Transformation Center quite literally saved my life. I could not have asked for better care during my time as a patient there. The staff and care team took very good care of me. I felt like my caregivers truly cared about my well-being and happiness. Over the months of programming there, I established some great relationships with the care team and other patients. They helped guide me from the most difficult and painful time of my life to the most happy and wonderful time of my life. I would not be here today if it had not been for the Transformation Center. I was truly transformed by this place! If you need help like I did, I'd highly recommend this wonderful place!
This place is a SCAM! I REPEAT A SCAM! They convince you, that you have to have treatment. And tell you your life will be better ....you literally have to sit in group sessions. They do not offer one on one. When in group you have to hear women complaining about makeup and clothes while you have real life issues! I paid for two weeks up front trusting these "people" I wasn't in group for an 1 hour, I went to ask them about one on one because I wasn't feeling group. They stated the only way is group! I asked for a refund....they didn't give me a refund. I had to go to my bank for a refund.Which I received thank God.!Only to discover these scam artists contact my bank and get the funds from my bank account which left me in a negative balance!!TRANSFORMATION CENTER JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! AND RETURN MY MONEY!!YOU ARE ALL ABOUT MONEY!! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! WITH THE FAKE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS!! PLEASE GO ELSE WHERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCAMMED!!BY THE WAY IT WAS OVER $2,500 TO HEAR ABOUT SPOILED WOMEN IN GROUP COMPLAINING ABOUT MAKEUP AND CLOTHES!! WHAT A JOKE!THEY DESERVE 0 STARS!
From the moment I walked into the Transformation Center, I felt welcomed and supported. The staff is warm, professional, and truly dedicated to their clients well-being. The program provides a structured yet flexible approach to therapy, allowing for personal growth at a comfortable pace. I ve seen firsthand the positive impact this place has had on so many people, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for compassionate, effective mental health care.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
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. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Intensive Outpatient 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).
Partial Hospitalization Program 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.
12-Step 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. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult Program
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 Adult Program
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.
Clinical Services
Typical cognitive behavioral therapy in Tennessee involves recognizing negative thinking and learning techniques to change that thinking and create new, positive behaviors. Strategies may include SMART goals, journaling, and situation exposure.
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. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
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.
Creative arts therapy can be integrated with other therapeutic methods during drug rehab in Tennessee. This treatment can provide unique experiences that allow you to better understand your feelings and experiences. Methods include music, art, dance, and writing therapy.
