EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR---Richard Perlin

While working diligently in the local 12-step community for the past nine years, Richard envisioned a center devoted to assisting those individuals who had fallen prey to substance abuse and chemical dependency. While helping hundreds of individuals overcome their addictions, Richard focused his efforts toward the formation of a treatment facility dedicated to the rescue of severely ill addicts.

Richard’s vision of a holistic and total care center became a reality and Newport Coast Recovery L.P. center was created. As Executive Director of Newport Coast Recovery L.P., Richard insures that each client is cared for on an individual basis, by personally meeting with them individually on a frequent basis many times each week, even several times per day when necessary. Because of careful and thoughtful monitoring of each client, the specific treatment program can be adjusted frequently to insure a successful outcome.
