Here's Help, Inc., a pioneer in treating drug-addicted youth, opened its doors in 1968. It has evolved into South Florida's premiere facility, providing both residential and outpatient therapies for young adults ages 13 and older, who are experiencing minimal to moderate substance abuse and mental health disorders. They are firmly committed to the concept that if a person is chemically dependent, he or she can, with compassionate and professional help, learn to live a productive and responsible drug and alcohol-free lifestyle.
Eclectic services are provided at their residential treatment facility in Opa-Locka and the outpatient care center in South Miami-Dade. Upon program admission, their team of highly qualified specialists develop an individualized treatment plan for each client, which may include individual and group therapy goals, vocational objectives, family counseling, music and art therapy interventions, case management, referral options, relapse prevention, continuing care counseling, emergency services, and a foundation in a 12-step or other support system. Treatment tracks are delivered in four-to-six months and are managed by 33 full-time and four part-time employees serving 800 clients annually. Recognizing their tremendous contribution to the field of chemical dependency, they've received funding from the Department of Children and Families since our inception, and have been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation and Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for 11 years.
