Better Way of Miami, Inc. provides three separate treatment programs.

• Day/Night Treatment – Clients may continue to reside at Better Way East. They may also move to another Better Way sponsored housing Program. If not, they can reside in local halfway houses or shelters, or with family members. When they aren’t searching for employment, working, or attending school, they attend this intensive outpatient rehabilitation program. It is offered in the evening and during the day.
• Outpatient Treatment – The ultimate goal of the Outpatient Treatment Program is long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. This is done through treatment planning. Group and individual sessions with each person will also be done. They will help them learn how to sustain sobriety through the 12-Step Recovery Model.
