Evolutions Treatment Center

What Evolutions Treatment Center does

Evolutions Treatment Center is a privately held, for-profit drug and alcohol rehabilitation center founded in 2013 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company operates three physical facilities across South Florida—a Miami inpatient/residential facility, a Fort Lauderdale Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) site, and a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) site—delivering a six-phase recovery model that progresses from medically supervised detoxification through residential treatment, PHP, IOP, outpatient care, and transitional sober living. The clinical stack is built entirely around human-delivered, evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), trauma-focused therapy, family therapy, and holistic wellness services (yoga, acupuncture, sound healing, nutritional counseling), delivered by board-certified addiction medicine physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, and licensed therapists.

The product portfolio spans the full addiction continuum, including specialized programs for alcohol, opioid, heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, and ecstasy dependence, alongside co-occurring mental health treatment for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and PTSD via the Dual Diagnosis program. The company has added specialty tracks for Spanish-speaking patients, kosher-observant individuals, military veterans, and demographic-specific groups, and operates a luxury facility model featuring private rooms, chef-prepared meals, swimming pool, beach volleyball, fitness coaching, and salon services.

Evolutions generates revenue primarily through insurance reimbursement, with in-network status across 20+ major payers including UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Tricare, Optum, Molina, and Florida Medicaid; self-pay options with payment plans and zero-interest financing are available for uninsured patients. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via a 24/7 admissions phone line, online forms, and treatment advisors who coordinate intake, insurance verification, and transportation—including for out-of-state clients. The company holds Joint Commission Gold Seal accreditation, Florida Department of Children and Families licensing, AHCA certification, Broward Behavioral Health Coalition certification, and LegitScript certification. Founder-CEO Gedale Fenster has led the company since inception; no venture or private equity investment is disclosed.
