Why Choose LJHC
Healing body, mind, and spirit means addressing addiction from every angle
Why Choose La Jolla Healing Center for your recovery journey?
When you come to LJHC for treatment, we see more than just your issues . We see the unique person that you are: all-encompassed by your challenges, strengths, experience, and dreams.
Our Unique Approach
Personalized Treatment Plans
We feel that your treatment plan should be highly specific and customized for you. You’ll work directly with our experienced team to develop an evolving treatment plan designed to make the most of your recovery. Our goal is to treat the whole person rather than just their symptoms, which means managing concurrent mental illnesses, physical health issues, and social problems. When you graduate from your treatment plan, you will be more balanced. You will be able to live a healthier and happier life, free from the torment of alcohol and substances.
Immediate Removal of Risks
One of the first steps of our treatment is harm reduction. Depending on your circumstances and current situation, you may be in harm - either physically, mentally, socially or financially. We want to make sure that any immediate dangers that exist are removed as soon as possible. From that point, we can tailor the treatment program for you and you can feel secure in moving forward at a healthy pace.
Session Flexibility
We know that many people have work, family, and friends they need to commit to. Thus, we have made it as easy as possible to have your treatment work alongside and be a part of your life without have to put anything on hold. We offer meetings at our center in downtown La Jolla, but are also able to make in-house calls to an adress of your choosing, or accommodate you with virtual meetings via your phone or computer.
Holistic Healing
Substance abuse influences all areas of your life. That means treatment has to touch those areas too.
At La Jolla Healing Center, you or your loved ones will have access to more resources than just treatment of the issue. We can help you with education about diet and nutrition, deal with chronic diseases and manage your health. We can also point you in the right direction regarding spiritual groups as well as aftercare and support on your continued journey.
Wellness is an all-encompassing state. Your physical, mental, and spiritual state needs to be at peace for you to attain natural wellness. Starting with your treatment at La Jolla Healing Center, we want to give you the tools to succeed in these areas so you can emerge as a new person with healthy habits.
Thorough Understanding of the Differences in Use, Abuse, and Addiction
We differentiate between use, abuse, and addiction. Not everyone who contacts us are addicts - far from it. Most people realize they may be using a substance too much, or even abusing it for some periods. That does not necessarily make a person an addict or an alcoholic. We assess where you are right now with your issue, and work from that point to see what treatment you are in need of.
Utmost Confidentiality
At La Jolla Healing Center, we value your privacy.
Most people coming to us want to remain anonymous for professional and personal reasons. We have specialized in accommodating people in recovery who want to keep their treatment very private. Any communication you have with us, be it via text or over the phone, is completely confidential. We have opted for a private office, conveniently located in central La Jolla, with discreet access - no need to worry about going through a lobby or risking meeting someone in our waiting room. All treatments will be personal, private, and without knowledge of anyone else.
Work Directly with Dr. Zafar
Dr. Zafar founded La Jolla Healing Center in 2005, and has since worked with hundreds of people in recovery. Everyone who comes to LJHC will be working directly and personally with Dr. Zafar. That ensures the best type of treatment and a consistent, personal, and professional service. Many other recovery centers and rehabs employ a variety of personnel, some more experienced than others. At LJHC, we pride ourselves with our personal treatment provided by Dr. Zafar himself.
Accommodating Executives and Professionals
Before founding La Jolla Healing Center, Dr. Zafar was prominent in the corporate sphere.
As a former director of a $180 billion company, he has extensive experience in professional communication. This directly leads to a stronger connection and understanding with people from professional backgrounds; specifically, high-end clientele in search of help. At La Jolla Healing Center we have received great feedback from helping highly successful professionals: serving attorneys, financial managers, corporate executives, and CEOs alike.
