Outpatient

Better Way of Miami offers a flexible, multi-level program for individuals who do not require, or have completed detoxification, residential treatment, or other type of day treatment.  Our group sessions are offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Saturday mornings, making treatment an excellent choice for those who work and have families.  We also provide family educational groups, which provide education and support to the loved ones of persons in treatment.  

Outpatient treatment gives the individual an opportunity to interact in a real world environment while benefiting from a peer-oriented, structures therapeutic program.  Progress is assessed regularly by credentialed, highly experienced clinicians who develop individualized treatment plans with each person.  

Graduates from the Outpatient program are welcome in our Alumni Association.  These groups offer ongoing Recovery support.

 

Drug and Alcohol Testing
Better Way of Miami offers drug and alcohol screening and specimen collection for individuals as well as workplace testing in the community.  Through the cost-effective screening methods, the Agency is able to offer the community simple and fast results.  Chain of custody is always maintained and documents/reports are prepared by a licensed counselor and/or medical personnel as required by the court.

Methods of drug and alcohol testing and specimen collection include panel testing (urinalysis) and Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT).  All urine drug screenings are lab-based.

*Special pricing is available for persons referred from Drug Court.

 

Individual Counseling
Individual counseling provides a one-on-one atmosphere to individuals seeking guidance in their personal lives. The confidential and supportive environment helps people to feel comfortable enough to disclose their problems so that they may obtain the skills necessary to resolve or work through their issues.  Although counseling cannot ‘cure’, it will give the individual the skills and abilities needed to work through and cope with their current situations.

Individual counseling can be used to help with many issues such as drug depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress and much more. The counselor will explore the individual’s feelings, concerns, and behaviors in order to help them acquire the skills necessary to resolve their personal issues.

Individual counseling can give a person the tools they need to better their lives, accomplish their goals, and help them better understand themselves by exploring where they've been, and where they’re going.

 

Marital/Couples Counseling
Marital/Couples Counseling provides a comfortable and safe environment for couples, married or not, seeking guidance in their relationships.  Counseling also aids couples in conquering present difficulties as well as help the couple understand one another prior to marriage.  Counseling may also provide the couple to better effectively communicate with one another.  

Couples counseling is not limited to married persons.  Better Way of Miami is open to all couples seeking counseling.


Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Employee assistance is not restricted to one particular treatment for employees. Employees may need assistance for drug and alcohol abuse, individual difficulties, marital or couples issues, family issues, and any other problem which hinders the employee’s performance at work.  

Better Way of Miami offers drug and alcohol testing and treatment – group and individual sessions available, individual and marital/couples/family counseling, anger management, and an array of education groups to aid the employee(s) in learning and understanding their current issues, how to cope with or resolve their issues, and successfully return to their place of employment.  

 

Educational Groups
