Boca Recovery Center

What Boca Recovery Center does

Boca Recovery Center is a private, for-profit behavioral healthcare operator founded in 2016 by Christopher Ferry and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The company provides a full continuum of care for substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health conditions, operating nine treatment facilities across four U.S. states (Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, and New Jersey) with a workforce in the 101-250 range. Its service line spans medical detoxification, residential treatment (typically 30-90 days), partial hospitalization (up to 30 hours/week), intensive outpatient (9-20 hours/week), outpatient care, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved agents (Suboxone, Sublocade, Vivitrol, Antabuse, Campral, Naloxone). Adjacent specialty services include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapy, family therapy, and integrated mental health care for co-occurring diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder.

The clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based protocols delivered by licensed clinicians, supported by Joint Commission accreditation, SAMHSA certification, LegitScript approval, state operating licenses in each operating state, and VA Community Care provider status. The company reports an 80% 12-month treatment completion rate versus a 50% SAMHSA national benchmark and has served over 13,000 patients cumulatively, establishing brand and clinical-outcome differentiation in the category.

Go-to-market is direct-to-patient: a 24/7 admissions helpline, online insurance verification portal, and website contact forms drive admissions, with the admissions team coordinating travel and intake. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance reimbursement (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, UnitedHealthcare, etc.), with private-pay, financing, and scholarship options for uncovered patients. The company is founder-led, has not raised institutional capital, and operates without a disclosed parent company.
