If you are seeking care in Miami, start by checking whether a service fits your needs and whether you meet its admission requirements.
Understand the county pathway
Miami-Dade County’s substance use treatment page describes its Central Intake Unit as a starting point for adults seeking evaluation, referral, and treatment placement. The county also describes residential and outpatient programs with different eligibility requirements. Some services focus on particular populations or referral pathways.
Read Miami-Dade County’s treatment and intake information and ask the county directly which services may apply.
Ask questions that affect access
- Does the program serve residents of my county?
- Can care be provided in my preferred language?
- Where are appointments held, and what transport will I need?
- What are the admission process, charges, and current wait times?
- How will follow-up care work if I return to another city?
Compare other options thoughtfully
