In Miami Gardens, like other areas of Florida, residents experience drug and alcohol abuse. If you are one of the Miami Gardens residents who is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, you don’t have to suffer alone. Although people can and do often quit on their own, treatment is the safest and most effective way to treat addiction and create behavior change. For more information about the resources offered in Miami-Dade County for drug and alcohol abuse, visit their website.
Depending on the substance or substances you are abusing, there are different types of treatment available, including inpatient rehab, standard outpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient—each type varying in its intensiveness. Once you enter a program, you will receive an intake assessment, which evaluates your substance abuse, along with your physical and mental health. This information will be used to create an individualized treatment plan for you to follow throughout the program. Your treatment plan may include participating in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), taking prescribed medication, going to group therapy meetings, attending family therapy, and/or engaging in holistic treatments such as acupuncture, meditation, or yoga. The types of treatment modalities and services you receive will depend on the individual rehab’s treatment philosophy.
Once you are ready to find help, you can look at our directory to find out more information about treatment facilities near you. Know that each center is different, so if you don’t find one that fits your needs in Miami Gardens, you may expand your search to other cities or states.

I have been to a few treatment centers and River Oaks by far has been one of the better places I have been in terms of client care and overall appearance of the campus/facilities. Pete who works with maintenance deserves kudos for all his hard work. You can find him daily addressing needs around the campus wether it’s picking up trash, fixing lights, servicing AC units, etc. He is definitely a team player and helps the facility run seamlessly.
The atmosphere at Sjrp is very therapeutic and recovery oriented. The staff really go above and beyond and everyone seems genuinely happy to be there. You can tell they enjoy what they do, which made me feel very comfortable. The facility is very clean. I would highly recommend Sjrp to anyone (friend or family) struggling with addiction and looking to get their life back on track.
