About Goodman Psychological Services Center (GPSC or Goodman Center)
Goodman Psychological Services Center is located on NW 25th Street in Doral, Florida. Their doors opened in 1980. The Goodman Center specializes in behavioral services for co-occurring disorders that can include substance misuse and also provides treatment for speech and language services. Goodman is part of Albizu University’s clinic.
Located in a University Setting with Research-Based Programming
They are located in a university complex close to residences, restaurants, churches and retail businesses. They are also accessible to transportation with Highway 836 and Highway 821 nearby. They are also in close proximity to the East Coast Buffer Water Preserve Area.
Services Provided Since 1980
I find it encouraging to learn that The Goodman Center has offered services to students and the surrounding community for over 45 years. Services are offered to adults, children and adolescents.
They provide traditional levels of therapy and counseling as well as diagnostic services for children and adults. Their services for mental and behavioral health are typically offered through referrals from other health care settings, Universities, agencies, schools and religious institutions.
Access to Psychoeducational Groups
They also offer access to psychoeducational groups to provide a higher level of care and support. These may assist you in developing or improving parenting skills, social skills, coping skills and life skills. Among their staff are doctoral graduates as well as more experienced professionals.
I like that they offer therapy for couples and married adults, families and those with multiple diagnoses. They’re supported by peer groups and educational workshops. Their program also provides access to additional community resources that may assist in job placement, housing needs, social services needs and additional treatment to address any co-occurring disorder needs.
They also offer all of their services through telehealth. This can provide a more comfortable method for your treatment if you’re experiencing anxiety or social issues relating to in-person care. It can also be beneficial if you lack transportation to and from their facility.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Treatments
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
