Dynamic Transformations is a California-based residential rehab detox center specializing in medically-assisted detoxification from drugs and alcohol. We help patients build a foundation for long term sobriety, and we take this responsibility very seriously.
We understand first-hand what you’re going through, and we can help you out of the darkness.
Our Mission
Our mission is to treat every single patient who comes to us for help in this life-changing work with the utmost respect, compassion, and empathy. Many of our staff are, themselves, in recovery, and because of this, we understand – first hand – how hard the detox process can be. We know the importance of individualized processes and we are sympathetic to the vast range of difficulties that cause and come with addiction.
But we also know, that with the right care and support, addiction recovery is possible – and it is worth it! We are dedicated to helping our patients onto a path of recovery through transition, transformation, and renewal, while also delivering on the highest standards in care and professionalism.
Our Values
We invest in people, not possessions.
We seek to understand, uplift and restore.
We aim to help our patients flourish, not merely exist.
We are dedicated to using our first-hand understanding of addiction and recovery to help our patients transform, renew, overcome and heal.
We know the journey is difficult and we vow to deliver compassionate care through every step.

Hello, my name is Rick. BIO coming soon!
Phillip Rollins
cadc_i, Operations and Compliance
Throughout my life, I’ve become all too familiar with the severe internal and external consequences of addiction. As a recovering addict, I found peace, solution and a desire to inspire and support those in their journey of recovery. I aspire to be a life long student, continuing to refine my knowledge and abilities. I chose to work at New Origins based on the unique, caring and professional approach continually expressed at every level. Working in this field has added immense depth to my life that I’m truly grateful for. I look forward to working with the individuals that see fit to allow us the opportunity to do so.
Richard Romero
CADC II – Quality Assurance
Hello, my name is Richard and I am an addict in recovery. I am a Southern California native who can personally say that the disease of addiction has had a dramatic impact on my life and the lives of those close to me. Fortunately, I was rescued from the depths of my disease and given an opportunity to be a part of something that would change me in ways I never thought possible.
Erin K. Engstrom, APCC
Associate Therapist
Hi, my name is Erin Engstrom, and I am a therapist at Dynamic Transformations. It is my mission to help my patients succeed in recovery so they can live their best lives, free from the shackles of addiction. My clinical approach includes walking alongside patients as they learn to recognize the underlying causes of addiction, and helping them to choose sobriety, with a therapeutic focus on identifying the negative core belief systems that have contributed to their struggle.
Through detox and in aftercare, I help patients restructure how they view themselves and empower them to live as caring, motivated individuals. I believe that recovery and wellness are maintained through continuous insight and self-compassion, and therapy is an integral part of the process.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside, and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Redlands. My experience includes leading individual and group clinical therapy sessions. I also have experience providing clinical therapy services to homeless and low SES communities at the Free Clinic in Riverside, CA. In 2016, I was the University of Redlands’ Leadership Award recipient.
