Hospitality meets healthcare at Agape Treatment Center in Fort Lauderdale, where clients receive structured addiction and mental health treatment in a setting designed to feel comfortable rather than institutional. They treat substance use and co-occurring concerns through day/night partial hospitalization programming (PHP), intensive outpatient programming (IOP), outpatient care, and aftercare planning, helping clients rebuild life while receiving unconditional love (“Agape”) and respect.

Establish Skills for Daily Recovery

Agape Treatment Center combines clinical care, medical support, and a whole-person approach to help clients understand what drives substance use and build healthier responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients change thought and behavior patterns, while eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and rapid resolution therapy (RRT) support trauma processing. Mindfulness, yoga, art therapy, and biofeedback help clients regulate emotions, manage stress, and reconnect with daily life.

Recover in Welcoming Spaces

Agape’s Fort Lauderdale facility reflects their hospitality-driven approach, with bright common areas, colorful artwork, lush outdoor spaces, spacious private rooms, and warm community lounges. Clients in the day/night partial hospitalization program (PHP) attend structured treatment during the day, return to supportive housing in the evenings, and have transportation available, creating a comfortable setting for practicing recovery with continued support.

Step Forward With Confidence

Agape Treatment Center begins aftercare planning at admission, helping clients prepare for the shift from structured treatment back into everyday life. Plans are based on each client’s living situation, support system, mental health needs, recovery goals, and next steps. Aftercare may include outpatient appointments, support groups, medication management, sober living referrals, alumni resources, and community connections.
