Energy and medicine run on networks.
Houston’s defining industries — energy, healthcare, aerospace, law — are tight-knit. Everyone knows someone. For executives, physicians, engineers, and families navigating recovery, local treatment often means local visibility. Florida is far enough to change that.

We work regularly with Houston-area clinicians and physicians who need documentation handled carefully under confidentiality and licensure-protective rules.

The choice of where to receive care for Houston 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.
Distance from Houston to Pembroke Pines, FL.
Houston sits 1,000+ flight miles east of our private clinical campus at 1151 Poinciana Dr. in Pembroke Pines, Florida. George bush intercontinental (iah) and hobby (hou) both serve south florida — the typical trip runs approximately a 2-hour, 30-minute flight depending on traffic and time of day.
IAH or HOU to FLL. United (IAH) and Southwest (HOU) offer multiple daily routes. Our admissions team coordinates ground transportation from any airport or address at no cost once admission is authorized.
Most Houston 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.
Verify confidentially.
BCBS Texas, Aetna, UHC, Cigna, Tricare, VA CCN — all accepted.
