A personal experience
Black adults’ care experiences are personal, not one-size-fits-all

It can be difficult to know whether a treatment setting will respect your values or take your concerns seriously. You deserve room to describe what matters to you in your own words. Discussing prior care experiences for Black adults in South Florida should leave space for individual needs, not assumptions about a whole community.
Treatment can involve more than one type of care, depending on a person’s needs. At Florida Helps, the care scope is adult drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment. Co-occurring support is provided only within those programs, rather than as a separate mental health admission.

Your pace and preferences
