Our Approach to Substance Abuse Treatment

Agape Treatment Center is a substance abuse and dual diagnosis rehab in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We treat all substance use disorders using our evidence-based model and individualized treatment plans. We believe the best practices in substance abuse treatment involve personalized care and support. Learn more about our approach to healthcare and treating those with substance use disorders in South Florida.

The best practices in substance abuse treatment utilize evidence-based treatment and treat individuals holistically rather than just addressing symptoms of substance use disorder. Agape Treatment Center is dedicated to implementing these best practices to provide our clients with the highest quality care. We provide personalized treatment by developing a custom treatment plan for each person in our program. This ensures that the root cause of addiction is addressed, which can be different for each individual.

We offer a comprehensive range of therapies designed to support recovery from all angles. Our individual therapy sessions provide personalized attention, allowing residents to explore their unique challenges and develop tailored coping strategies. Group therapy fosters a sense of community and shared understanding, which is crucial for long-term recovery.

Family therapy is another cornerstone of our approach, helping to rebuild and strengthen family dynamics that may have been affected by addiction. Our holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation, address the mind-body connection and promote overall well-being.

Specialized therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Biofeedback Therapy are integral to our program, offering advanced techniques for managing trauma and stress. Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) is also available, providing a swift and effective method for resolving emotional conflicts.

At Agape Treatment Center, we are dedicated to utilizing best practices to guide our residents toward a sustainable and fulfilling recovery.

Our Clinical Approach

At Agape Treatment Center, our clinical approach is centered on providing comprehensive and personalized care for those struggling with substance use disorders. Our programs are designed to meet the varying needs of our residents, ensuring they receive the support necessary for lasting recovery.

Our IOP offers flexible scheduling for those who require treatment but also need to maintain daily responsibilities. It includes individual and group therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups, allowing residents to apply recovery skills in real-life scenarios.

Also known as day/night treatment, our PHP provides a higher level of care than IOP. Residents participate in structured, full-day treatment sessions that include therapy, medical supervision, and holistic activities, promoting deep and sustained healing.

Our MAT program combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. This integrated approach helps alleviate withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery efforts.

Recognizing the complex interplay between mental health and substance use disorders, our dual diagnosis program addresses both issues concurrently. We provide comprehensive psychiatric care alongside addiction treatment to ensure holistic recovery.
We incorporate integrative medicine practices to enhance overall well-being. This includes nutritional counseling and other holistic therapies that support physical and mental health.
We embrace the principles of the 12-step program, providing a structured framework for recovery. This time-tested approach encourages personal growth, accountability, and community support.
Our specialized veteran program, Operation Agape, is tailored to meet the unique needs of military veterans. It offers a supportive environment where veterans can connect with peers, receive specialized trauma-informed care, and access resources to aid in their recovery journey.

 

At Agape Treatment Center, our clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and compassionate care, ensuring each resident receives the comprehensive support they need to achieve lasting sobriety.

What We Treat

At Agape Treatment Center, we specialize in treating a wide range of substance use disorders and mental health disorders with a holistic and personalized approach:

Substance Use Disorders

These disorders involve the recurrent use of substances such as alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and others, despite negative consequences. Symptoms may include cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and loss of control over use. Agape offers evidence-based treatments including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and behavioral therapies tailored to address each client’s specific needs.

Characterized by the inability to control alcohol consumption despite adverse consequences. Symptoms include cravings, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms. Agape provides individual and group therapy and ongoing support to achieve sobriety and maintain long-term recovery.

Involves the misuse of opioids, leading to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms include cravings, mood swings, and respiratory depression. Agape utilizes MAT with medications like buprenorphine and methadone, combined with behavioral therapies to manage cravings and prevent relapse.

Includes misuse of drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants. Symptoms may include increased energy, euphoria, and paranoia. Agape offers behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups to address addiction and underlying mental health issues. 

Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorders refer to the presence of both substance use disorder and other mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Agape provides integrated treatment plans that address both disorders simultaneously through specialized therapies, psychiatric care, and holistic approaches to promote overall wellness.

PTSD is a mental health disorder triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness. At Agape Treatment Center, we offer trauma-informed therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help individuals process trauma, reduce symptoms, and regain stability.
Anxiety disorders involve excessive fear or worry that interferes with daily life. Symptoms may include panic attacks, social phobia, and generalized anxiety. Agape provides therapies like mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), relaxation techniques, and medication management to alleviate symptoms and improve coping strategies.
Depression is characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and feelings of hopelessness. Agape offers individual therapy, support groups, and antidepressant medications to address symptoms and promote emotional well-being.
Bipolar disorder involves extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Symptoms can disrupt daily life and relationships. Agape utilizes mood stabilizers, psychoeducation, and therapy to stabilize mood fluctuations and improve quality of life.

Personality disorders are characterized by unhealthy patterns of thinking, behavior, and functioning. Examples include borderline personality disorder (BPD) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Agape provides dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral approaches, and interpersonal therapy to help individuals manage symptoms, improve relationships, and enhance overall functioning.
