Advocate Program West Dade

You’ll find Advocate Program West Dade in Miami, Florida. This private nonprofit agency provides various services for adults and families battling challenges like substance abuse, mental health conditions, criminal justice system involvement, domestic violence, and more. You can access in person or virtual intensive and standard outpatient care to meet your recovery goals.

Affordable Care

They strive to provide care to anyone here regardless of your finances. Funding is available for some programs through Thriving Mind. You may be eligible for free services if you’re underinsured, uninsured, or have low income and meet at least one criteria of their target populations.

Veteran Care

What stands out most to me is their Veterans services. Launched in 2011, this program provides affordable housing for Veterans and their families experiencing homelessness. You can access wraparound services for housing stability, including financial assistance, case management, housing counseling, employment services and more.

DUI School

Another great feature I noticed was their DUI services. If you are facing a DUI charge, you can participate in evaluation and treatment to meet your court requirements and prevent future DUIs. They offer care for first time and multiple offenders, including a level one or two track.

You can also access specialized supervision and court reporting services. You'll benefit from ongoing support to understand the dangers of driving under the influence and your next steps to achieve lasting recovery.

Family Services

I also think their family services seem beneficial. They offer a Bridging Families & Communities track, which provides wraparound services for children and families to help you engage with the community in a healthy way. You can participate in care coordination and brief mental health consultations.

While they prioritize families referred through the court system, limited space is available for self or community referrals. These services are free for families through the Children’s Trust.
