Understanding the recommendation
What a polysubstance care recommendation means in South Florida
A care recommendation describes a possible level of support based on a person’s needs; it isn’t a diagnosis or a commitment to treatment. Learn about polysubstance use and the kinds of adult programs Florida Helps offers, so you can understand the recommendation in context.
When several substances are involved, a recommendation may help identify the type of care a person could consider. It does not tell you everything about what treatment will involve, and it doesn’t take away the person’s choice. You can use it as a starting point for understanding the options and deciding what feels like a manageable next step.
Florida Helps provides adult drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment at its facility in Miramar, Florida. Co-occurring support is available within those programs. A call can help you understand whether that scope may fit the concern behind the recommendation, without presuming a diagnosis or assuming that anyone has decided to enroll.

Understanding treatment settings
Residential care and setting in South Florida
The recommended setting describes where a person stays during care. SAMHSA explains that residential care involves living at a treatment program, while inpatient care generally involves an overnight stay at a hospital or treatment program. Read about polysubstance use and Florida Helps adult treatment programs to understand the distinction.
A residential setting can provide a place to live while receiving treatment. That is different from outpatient care, where a person doesn’t live at the program. The setting is one part of a recommendation; the right type of support depends on the person’s needs and should be considered with qualified professionals.

What treatment may involve
Treatment components for polysubstance care in South Florida
A recommendation may name both a setting and treatment components, because care can involve more than one type of support. SAMHSA notes that therapy or counseling may take place individually or in groups, and medication may be part of care for some substance use disorders. Explore polysubstance use and Florida Helps programs for context about the adult care offered.
The details in a recommendation matter. Therapy and counseling can focus on healthier ways to cope and change patterns, and may happen one-to-one or in a group. Medication can be part of treatment for some substance use disorders, but it should be discussed with a qualified health professional. These general care options do not mean a specific service is offered at every program.

Questions people often ask
You can read what feels useful and bring the rest into a private conversation.
What does a care recommendation tell me?
It points to a type or level of support that may fit the person’s needs. It doesn’t, by itself, mean that someone has enrolled or that one program is right for everyone. For help understanding Florida Helps’ adult detox and residential care in Miramar, call admissions at (866) 931-9677.
Is residential treatment the same as hospital care?
Not necessarily. SAMHSA describes residential care as living at a treatment program. Inpatient care generally involves staying overnight at a hospital or treatment program. These terms describe settings, but the recommendation and a person’s needs determine what kind of care may be appropriate.
Can treatment include more than one kind of support?
Yes. Treatment may involve more than one type of care, depending on a person’s needs. Therapy or counseling may be individual or in groups, and medication may be part of care for some substance use disorders. A qualified health professional should discuss medication.
