About Us
Dade Family Counseling opened its doors in 1989 as a non-profit 503-b substance abuse treatment program focusing primarily on the greater Miami community. In 1997, DFC partnered with NOVA Southeastern University to provide Mental Health counseling internships to their graduate students. Additional partnerships were formed and received interns from St. Thomas University, Liberty University, and other universities.
Dade Family Counseling is a family operation in many ways. Several of our therapists have been with us for many years. Our clinical staff consists of Master Level and/or Licensed Therapists, Certified Addiction professionals, and Domestic Violence counselors with numerous years of experience.

Levels of care
Partial Hospitalization
Partial hospitalization programs are offered as a step-down program after completion of inpatient hospitalization or residential treatment. However, PHPs still provide high-level services and therapeutic programming. At this level of care, patients are physically and psychologically stable and do not need inpatient hospitalization. They participate in different activities, including individual therapy, group therapy, and activities designed to improve decision-making and communication skills.
Intensive Outpatient
“An intensive outpatient program is crucial for patients who complete inpatient drug rehab or partial hospitalization programming with an addiction treatment center. Patients at this level of care balance structured accountability and increased freedom to work, volunteer, and time with their sober support networks. People often have family or work commitments that prevent them from entering full-time care. Intensive Outpatient Services(IOP) allow individuals to remain in their own homes and communities, which may improve their adjustment to community life for these people, IOPs are often the best choice. They still get intensive treatment, but they can reside at home.

Looking for a Spanish-speaking addiction treatment program?
Hispanic Americans are one of the fastest growing segments of the United States population. The U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates that there are 60 million people of Hispanic origin (as of July 1, 2018) living in the United States. And unfortunately, there are over 7.1% of Latino Americans suffering from Substance abuse & mental health issues
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that 91% of Hispanic Americans with a substance use disorder are unable to receive the treatment that they need at a substance abuse rehabilitation center. And those who do receive treatment do not fare as well as the rest of the population, as studies show that Hispanic Americans have poorer outcomes in substance abuse treatment programs.
