Our Story
Lake Howell Health Center is a private medical practice established in April 2010. We aim to treat and prevent illnesses and injuries in people of all ages.
The medical staff at Lake Howell Health Center specializes in family practice, weight loss, and addiction treatment services. They use a whole-body approach when treating patients, examining overall health and medical history to determine the best treatment method.
Addiction treatment is perhaps our best-known service. SoberDoc is Lake Howell Health Center’s in-house addiction treatment program. Dr. Hoffman developed SoberDoc to provide specifically designed treatment plans for each patient. This program has successfully treated hundreds for addictions to alcohol, nicotine, and illicit drugs.

The SoberDoc Way
