Drug detox & addiction treatment,
every substance, every safeguard.
Pines Recovery Life offers 24/7 medically supervised detox for every major class of substance — alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, prescription drugs, and polysubstance presentations. Every protocol is evidence-based, physician-directed, and tailored to the patient in front of us.

Every substance, a different clinical approach.
There is no universal “detox.” Alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each require their own evidence-based protocol. Below is how we approach each — with links to the full clinical detail for families who want to understand exactly what we do.
Symptom-triggered benzodiazepine tapering guided by CIWA-Ar scoring. Thiamine, folate, and electrolyte support standard. Seizure and DT prevention protocol in place 24/7. See alcohol detox →
FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder. COWS-guided dosing. Adjunct comfort meds for sleep, GI, and anxiety. See opioid detox →
Buprenorphine or methadone induction under COWS monitoring. Naloxone accessible at every station. Psychiatric co-management from day one. See heroin detox →
Fentanyl’s long tissue half-life is managed with extended induction windows and micro-dosing protocols. See fentanyl detox →
Cross-tapered to diazepam or clonazepam and tapered slowly. Seizure precautions, adjunctive gabapentin, daily clinical reassessment. See benzo detox →
No FDA-approved detox medication exists for cocaine — supportive care focuses on sleep, nutrition, cardiac monitoring, and psychiatric evaluation. See cocaine detox →
Cardiac and psychiatric stabilization during crash phase. Sleep restoration, hydration, psychosis screening. See meth detox →
For oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine — MOUD protocols that respect legitimate pain needs, with post-detox pain management planning. See prescription drug detox →
Specialized taper off maintenance medications when clinically indicated — managed slowly, never cold turkey. Methadone → · Suboxone →
From first call to stable in care.
Admissions & Assessment
A full, unhurried clinical assessment — not a five-minute screener. Our team confirms medical necessity, reviews substances and dosing history, and verifies your insurance benefits. Typical time from first call to confirmed admission: 2–24 hours.
Medical Detox
24/7 supervision by nursing, physician oversight by Sergey Litvinov, MD. Substance-specific protocol begins within hours of admission. Duration: typically 3–7 days; longer for benzodiazepines and long-acting opioids.
Residential Inpatient
Same campus — CBT, DBT, EMDR, MAT maintenance, group, family work, psychiatric care. Typical authorization: 14–30 days depending on medical necessity and insurance plan.
Physician-led, accredited, and built for unhurried care.
The choice of where to receive drug detox matters. Patients and families weigh credentials, environment, and continuity of care alongside cost and coverage. Here is what consistently brings people to our 18,000 sq ft private clinical campus in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
Medical Director Sergey Litvinov, MD — a board-certified psychiatrist — directs clinical care. Every patient is reviewed by an attending physician, not a counselor signing off on a protocol.
Independent accreditation by the nation’s most recognized healthcare standards body. Surveyed against rigorous safety and quality standards.
LegitScript certification is the standard required by Google, Microsoft, and Meta to advertise addiction treatment. It signals an audited, transparent operator.
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD frequently co-occur with substance use. Psychiatric assessment and care run in parallel with detox, not after.
Most commercial and military plans are accepted. Verification is free, confidential, and typically completed in under 60 seconds.
Private bedrooms, dedicated medical detox wing, therapy rooms sized for real clinical work, outdoor grounds. Not a strip-mall storefront.
