Jacksonville is about 5 hours from our private 18,000 sq ft clinical campus in Pembroke Pines. Close enough to stay inside your Florida insurance network and your family’s reach. Far enough for early recovery to have room.

The choice of where to receive care for Jacksonville 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.
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.

Verify CoverageFrequently Asked Questions
How far is Pines Recovery Life from Jacksonville?
About 330 miles – roughly a five-hour drive straight down I-95. Flying from JAX into Fort Lauderdale takes about an hour and a half, and our campus is around 20 minutes from that airport.
Does Pines accept Tricare and VA benefits?
Yes. We accept Tricare, Humana Military, and VA Community Care, which matters in a city with the active-duty and veteran population Jacksonville has. Lead therapist Travis Gray, LMHC, CAP, LPC is a Navy veteran and a trauma specialist. Call us and we will verify your specific benefit at no cost before you travel.
Why travel from Jacksonville instead of treating locally?
Two reasons families give us most often. The first is clinical: physician-led medical detox with a board-certified psychiatrist overseeing every admission, and co-occurring mental health conditions treated from day one rather than referred out. The second is distance itself – early recovery is easier when the routines and relationships tied to substance use are genuinely interrupted.
Does my Florida Blue plan work at Pines?
Florida Blue is Florida’s largest commercial carrier and we accept all Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, including Florida Blue. Because we are a Florida provider and you are a Florida member, coverage is generally more straightforward than it is for out-of-state patients. We also accept UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare, Humana Military, and VA Community Care. Verification is free and confidential.
What levels of care does Pines provide?
Two, both on our Pembroke Pines campus: medically supervised detox with 24/7 clinical monitoring, and residential inpatient treatment. Care for co-occurring mental health conditions is delivered inside both. Step-down care after discharge is arranged through our partner network, and we help coordinate that back in the Jacksonville area.
How do I start from Jacksonville?
Call (855) 981-8935 and speak with an admissions counselor. The call is confidential. We verify your insurance at no cost, complete a full clinical assessment to determine the right level of care, and help you plan the trip down.
