Recovery, Wellness & Mental Health in Miami-Fort Lauderdale
This category stays deliberately narrow and nonprofit-only: a general search for South Florida addiction or mental-health help surfaces mostly commercial treatment marketing, which doesn't belong on a civic resource list. The organizations below are long-standing nonprofit crisis and peer-support infrastructure, not treatment providers with something to sell.
211 Miami
211 Miami, operated by the nonprofit Switchboard of Miami, is Miami-Dade County's 24/7 confidential helpline connecting callers to crisis counseling and social-service referrals — the county's local entry point into the national 211 network, not a for-profit call center.
211 Broward
211 Broward runs Broward County's own 24/7 crisis and referral helpline, a separate nonprofit-operated 211 affiliate from Miami-Dade's, connecting callers to local mental-health, housing, and social-service resources by phone or online chat.
NAMI Miami-Dade County
NAMI Miami-Dade County, the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, runs free peer-led support groups and education classes for people living with mental illness and their families — peer support, not clinical treatment, at no cost.
NAMI Broward County
NAMI Broward County offers the same free, peer-led support-group and education model as its Miami-Dade counterpart, run as a separate local NAMI affiliate serving Broward addresses.
