About Care Resource Community Health Centers – Oakland Park
Care Resource Community Health Centers offers primary, medical, dental and behavioral health care services for clients of all ages at locations across Florida. This includes their Fort Lauderdale location, where they provide outpatient mental health and substance abuse counseling services. They accept self pay and private insurance and have a sliding fee scale for the uninsured. Some of their services are covered by grant funding and are available free of charge.
At this site, you can participate in individual, group, and family counseling services. I like that they offer different programs for people who are struggling with mental health issues and those who have substance use disorders. Their mental health counseling program focuses on people who are living with or affected by HIV or AIDS. During their sessions, they’ll learn how to adjust to their diagnosis and improve their relationships.
Their substance abuse counseling program addresses both HIV and addiction related issues. During your sessions, you’ll learn how drug and alcohol use can put you at a greater risk of contracting a communicable disease like HIV. They realize that many people can benefit from both counseling programs and allow them to weave their treatments together.
A special feature at their center is that they have a program that helps you learn the skills you need to succeed in the job market. The program is called Individual Placement and Support and it shows you how to secure and maintain employment within your community. They work closely with local employers to learn about new openings and opportunities that will fit well with their clients.
