Care Resource

Care Resource Community Health Centers is an integrated healthcare provider serving Broward and Miami-Dade County in South Florida. They have five centers within Miami-Dade County including this facility at Biscayne Boulevard in the Edgewater neighborhood of Midtown Miami. They offer primary medical care, infectious disease testing & prevention and behavioral healthcare like substance use recovery.

Their culturally appropriate approach to care involving multilingual support is among their core attraction. Services are available in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole to accommodate their diverse network of patients. I think the best thing about them is their commitment to affordable care delivery. This makes sense because they’re a Federally Qualified Health Center. They offer sliding fee scale options that let you pay for care based on your income and family size. This ensures you won’t be denied life-saving care due to your inability to pay. This also makes care accessible to underserved and uninsured populations with limited resources to access quality healthcare.

Integrated Substance Use and Infectious Disease Treatment

Outpatient substance use recovery in Care Resources involves individual and group therapy sessions following assessment and personalized care planning. Group therapy is particularly essential as it inspires community support via peer interaction and engagement. You’ll get to practice and learn how to communicate, manage anger and solve problems. These are great sober skills that foster relapse prevention.

Family therapy is also provided to improve relationships, create positive family dynamics and strengthen your support network. Various online and in-person support groups are also available to connect you with peers in recovery. Outpatient addiction recovery in this facility may also involve intensive counseling for combined substance use and HIV-related issues. This helps folks diagnosed with HIV understand how substance use may interfere with treatment. That way they can develop effective strategies for better disease management.

Wellness & Preventive Care

Care Resources in Biscayne Boulevard offers free HIV, Hepatitis C and other STD testing. Injecting IV drugs exposes you to these infectious diseases through the sharing of needles. You can also benefit from their risk reduction counseling which focuses on minimizing infection risk.

Another way they try to protect patients is via FDA approved antiretroviral drug therapies including PrEP, PEP and DoxyPEP. They also provide linkage to care to help you connect or reconnect with life saving care using the Anti-Retroviral Treatment and Access to Services or ARTAS public health strategies. Their wellness support includes nutritional counseling to ensure you’re getting the balanced meals needed to strengthen your immune response and improve your overall wellbeing as you navigate recovery.

Recovery Support Services

Care Resources in Biscayne Boulevard offers various supportive services to ensure sustained healing and stability as you move forward. This involves housing support, transportation aids and access to primary medical care. They also offer food or nutritional assistance and employment support via a specialized initiative called individual placement and support or IPS. IPS offers tailored vocational education that makes it easy to navigate the workforce.
