Twenty minutes west, a different world.
Fort Lauderdale is Broward’s front door — beaches, nightlife, cruise terminals, FLL arrivals. That saturation of triggers is precisely why a clinical campus twenty minutes inland is the right place to start recovery.
If you or a loved one is flying in from anywhere in the country, FLL is often easier than MIA — shorter security, fewer international crowds, and ten minutes of I-595 to our campus.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach are full of bars, boats, and late-night energy. Twelve miles west is twelve miles of breathing room.
Dr. Sergey Litvinov is a board-certified psychiatrist. Every withdrawal protocol, every medication decision, every co-occurring diagnosis runs through a physician.

SAMHSA’s National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP) is free and confidential. None of these replace full clinical treatment, but they’re the right first call when a full admission isn’t yet in reach.

Physician-led, accredited, and built for unhurried care.
The choice of where to receive care for Fort Lauderdale families 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.

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.
