About Us

La Jolla Healing Center was founded in 2005. Our mission is to provide solutions to the devastating effects of addiction through a practical stance on recovery. Our center offers Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for alcohol, substance and prescription drug abuse. We offer flexible yet customized treatment options as an effective means to healing and recovery.

La Jolla Healing Center’s team is comprised of caring and skilled psychiatrists, medical doctors, licensed therapists, nutritionists, physical therapists, and spiritual coaches dedicated to fighting addiction. Founded by Dr. Kamran Zafar, La Jolla Healing Center addresses and treats the underlying cause of addiction through personalized individual and group counseling programs, tailored to suit all stages of substance abuse and recovery.

La Jolla Healing Center has been successfully treating both the new and recurring substance/alcohol abuser in a confidential, medically supported environment for more than twelve years. Through incorporation of AA’s 12 Step principles, Dr. Kamran Zafar implements a successful holistic treatment program.

We take a contemporary view of the disease that is addiction, one that combines therapy supported by leading addiction medicine researchers worldwide, and the practical hands of experience through our qualified staff.
