Questions people ask about Thelma McMillen Recovery Center
What programs does Thelma McMillen Recovery Center offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Harbor City, 2.7 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Thelma McMillen Recovery Center offer a detox?
No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 2.9 miles away in Harbor City.
Is there anything in Torrance besides paid treatment?
Torrance has 66 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Does Thelma McMillen Recovery Center treat teenagers?
Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Torrance has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.
Does Thelma McMillen Recovery Center have beds?
They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Gardena, 4.7 miles away.
Is there anywhere else close by?
The nearest other center is 1.5 miles away, in Torrance, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
What if I have no insurance?
Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at the plan with you before you commit to anything.
Do I have to tell my boss?
Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. A medical leave of absence from a college is normally reversible, and usually a better record than a failed semester. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
