Thelma McMillen Recovery Center

About Thelma McMillen Recovery Center – Torrance, California

Thelma McMillen Recovery Center in Torrance, California is an intensive drug and alcohol treatment center for adults and teens. They provide outpatient treatment and medication assisted treatment as well as aftercare support through alumni programming. They have day and night options available to make treatment easier on your schedule.

The outpatient program is structured to guide teens through three phases over six months. The adult program lasts for nine months. You’ll start by attending five sessions a week, then four, then one before exiting the program. You’ll transition gradually as you make progress and develop an understanding of recovery concepts.

The aspect I like most about their program is the mindfulness based relapse prevention strategies. Relapse prevention can take many forms, but incorporating mindfulness promotes a greater sense of self awareness that you can apply to all areas of your life. I think it helps reinforce the idea that recovery takes place in all areas of your life and needs to be continually practiced.
