Why Pines for care for Boston families

Physician-led, accredited, and built for unhurried care.

The choice of where to receive care for Boston 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.

Boston to Campus

Distance from Boston to Pembroke Pines, FL.

Boston sits 1,500+ flight miles south of our private clinical campus at 1151 Poinciana Dr. in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Logan international (bos) to fll or mia — multiple direct flights daily — the typical trip runs approximately a 3-hour, 30-minute flight depending on traffic and time of day.

FLL is the primary arrival point, roughly 20 minutes from campus by car. JetBlue, Delta, American, and Spirit all run direct BOS→FLL routes. Our admissions team coordinates ground transportation from any airport or address at no cost once admission is authorized.

Most Boston families schedule a private campus tour before admission, either in person or via the immersive 360° virtual tour. Visitation weekends are coordinated with the clinical schedule, and family therapy can be conducted in person or by HIPAA-compliant telehealth so distance does not interrupt clinical work.

Boston FAQ

Hub City questions, answered.

Why leave the Mass General area?+
Boston has excellent in-state options. The case for out-of-state is clinical separation from the environment where substance use developed — family, friends, neighborhood, workplace. A thousand miles of distance is what that actually looks like.
What about my Mass General / Brigham physician?+
With your permission, we coordinate with your MA physician for ongoing medication management unrelated to substance use. Our clinical team directs the substance-use treatment.
Does Tufts or Harvard Pilgrim cover out-of-state?+
Out-of-state coverage depends on the specific plan — PPO products have the strongest out-of-network benefits; HMO products often require in-network. Verification confirms.
What happens after residential?+
Discharge planners coordinate with MA-based PHP, IOP, outpatient, and sober living partners. Continuity matters; we work that handoff carefully.
Does family fly down weekly?+
Typically once during the stay for a weekend family session. Weekly video family therapy is also available for MA-based loved ones.
