About Lasting Recovery

 

Judy Saalinger, Ph.D., MFT, CAS, and Arthur Farkas, Ph.D founded Lasting Recovery in July 2004.  With well over 30 years of therapeutic and clinical work in the field and many years of personal recovery from addictions, the husband and wife team recognized an opportunity for their work to have an even greater impact while addressing the unmet need for quality outpatient addiction treatment in San Diego.

We work with individuals and families and offer hope for a healing recovery and a promising future.  We coordinate care with psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists, family and primary care physicians, facilities, attorneys, employers, universities and diversion boards through confidential, professional assistance with education, referrals, and placement services. 

 

We refer to:

• Interventionists
• Inpatient detoxification and treatment facilities

Lasting Recovery also acts as a step down level of care for patients discharging from inpatient treatment facilities, by providing intensive outpatient care, aftercare, family groups and psychotherapy to help the individual and their family implement discharge plans outlined in inpatient treatment.
