Destination Hope

What Destination Hope does

Destination Hope is a privately held, for-profit behavioral health treatment center founded in 2006 and headquartered at 8301 W McNab Rd, Tamarac, Florida. It provides residential and outpatient care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (dual diagnosis), operating an integrated clinical model in which a single psychiatrist-led team treats mental health and addiction as one diagnosis from intake through aftercare. The facility serves the Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area and accepts TRICARE and out-of-network PPO benefits from major commercial carriers (Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Humana), with self-pay options available.

The clinical offering is organized as a five-level continuum of care: Medical Detox (coordinated with a partner detox facility), Residential Treatment, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Aftercare/Alumni. Specialized tracks address depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and psychotic disorders, with gender-specific residential units and programming. Support services include the Family Program and Family Ambassador Network. The core technology is evidence-based therapy (CBT, DBT, EMDR, trauma-focused CBT) combined with medication management; no AI, digital platform, or proprietary software product is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through healthcare services billed primarily to insurance (TRICARE and commercial out-of-network PPO plans), with admissions driven by a 24/7 phone line, insurance verification, and referrals from healthcare providers and families. Credentials include Joint Commission Accreditation, Florida AHCA and DCF licenses, LegitScript certification, and TRICARE MHPHP certification. Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or capital events; the company employs 101-250 staff across clinical, nursing, housing, and administrative functions.
