Why Miami Residents Travel North

Twenty-five miles of breathing room.

Miami is dense, loud, and full of cues that remind someone in crisis exactly how their substance use started. Traveling twenty-five miles north — just across the Broward line — is the smallest possible distance that still creates a clinical separation. That’s why so many Miami-Dade families choose Pines.

Distance from triggers Enough, but not too far

Out of Brickell, out of Wynwood, out of Miami Beach, out of the neighborhood bars and the friend who always has something. Twenty-five miles is enough to change the air.

Bilingual Spanish care Language is not a barrier

Clinicians including Travis Gray (LMHC, CAP, LPC) deliver therapy in Spanish. Intake, family sessions, and group work can be conducted bilingually.

Privacy, not publicity Private campus

Miami is a small town dressed up as a big city. Treatment across the county line is treatment the neighbors don’t see on Instagram.

Physician-led clinical model MD-directed care

Medical Director Sergey Litvinov, MD runs every protocol. Not a counselor-run program with a physician on call — a psychiatrist-led clinical campus.

Clinical Protocols

Evidence-based, not improvised.

The same ASAM-aligned protocol set for every Miami-Dade admission, regardless of substance or insurance.

Assessment

Comprehensive medical intake

Full physician and psychiatric evaluation, lab work, substance history, co-occurring screening. Not a rushed form — insurance and clinical care both require the full picture.

Stabilization

Medical detox

CIWA-Ar for alcohol, COWS for opioids, 24/7 nursing, physician-managed withdrawal medications. Medication-assisted treatment where clinically indicated.

Residential

Inpatient treatment

Therapy (individual and group), psychiatric management, co-occurring mental health care, family programming. Same campus, same team as detox.

Miami Insurance

Florida Blue, Aetna, and the rest.

Miami’s commercial insurance market skews Florida Blue and Aetna, and we verify both constantly. Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Tricare, Humana Military, and VA Community Care Network are also accepted.

Under federal parity law, your Florida plan must cover substance use treatment at the same level as medical benefits. Our admissions team handles authorization directly with your carrier.

Why Pines for care for Miami families
