About Agape Treatment Center | Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment Center
Agape Treatment Center | Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, specializes in treating men, women and veterans who are struggling with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. They provide high quality treatment, evidence based therapies and supportive services to help you recover.
Where they are located is just a 10 minute drive to the heart of Fort Lauderdale, where there is so much to do and see. This includes their beaches, historic sites, state parks, boat cruises, flea markets, specialty museums, malls, libraries and convention centers. You can go paddle boarding, sailing or out to eat at the restaurants with your peers after group therapy and enjoy life in healthy, sober ways.
What sticks out to me the most is their variety of therapies utilized while you are receiving treatment here. They offer rapid resolution therapy, brain mapping, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy. These therapies can help you heal from trauma, manage stress and reduce the risks of a relapse.
Their art therapy utilizes different mediums that can help you manage, process and regulate emotions. Some of the many forms of art used include group art projects, visual journaling, sculpting, drawing and painting.
Massage therapy can be such a great way for you to relax, self-reflect and provide pain management. Some of the many massages used here include Swedish massage, hot stone massage, reflexology, deep tissue massage and trigger point massage.
I think their biofeedback therapy is such a unique way to raise awareness on how to manage symptoms with a non-invasive tool. This can help control impulsive behaviors and boost self esteem. Other therapies they utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), traditional talk therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Operation Agape is specialized treatment available for first responders and veterans. They create a comfortable, secure and safe atmosphere for you to be vulnerable without the fear of being judged. Individual counseling, group therapy, hypnotherapy, peer support and rapid resolution therapy can be included in your treatment plan.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
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.
