Located along Northwest 7th Street in Miami, Borinquen Medical Centers provides
outpatient behavioral health and substance use care for adults, teens, and families. Their services treat alcohol and drug addiction, mental illness, and co-occurring conditions. Programs include individual and
group therapy, relapse prevention, psychiatric services, HIV and hepatitis testing, and case management. Care is available in-person or virtually, with bilingual support groups serving Miami’s culturally diverse community.
Guided by decades of experience, the center uses an evidence-based approach that combines counseling, medication management, and wellness education. Clients participate in therapies that include group sessions on relapse prevention, mindfulness practices, coping skills, and family involvement. Preventive care such as health education and nutrition counseling is integrated with psychiatric support, helping clients manage both mental and physical health needs. The approach builds stability, resilience, and long-term recovery in a supportive environment.
The center also offers specialized outreach through programs like STOPP-E for outpatient addiction recovery and TOPWA for pregnant women at risk of HIV or substance use. Teens and adults can join art-based support groups like Creative Vibes or Golden Creations, which encourage self-expression and healing. With flexible scheduling, hybrid sessions, and links to housing, employment, and community resources, the center provides accessible, whole-person care that fosters hope and lasting wellness.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Borinquen Health Care Center Flagami provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
