Agape Treatment Center

What Agape Treatment Center does

Agape Treatment Center is a private, for-profit behavioral healthcare provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in Wilton Manors (Fort Lauderdale), Florida, operating four South Florida facilities focused on substance use disorder treatment, dual diagnosis, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Its service architecture is a multi-level outpatient continuum comprising Partial Hospitalization (PHP/Day-Night), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Outpatient programs, supported by sister facilities that provide medical detox in Port St. Lucie, residential mental health in Oakland Park, and behavioral healthcare in Fort Pierce. The clinical model integrates Western evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, EMDR, MAT, 12-step) with Eastern holistic modalities (art therapy, yoga, meditation, biofeedback, massage) under an "Integrative Medicine" philosophy, plus a specialized veteran track called Operation Agape.

The business model is primarily insurance reimbursement via in-network status with 150+ payers (including Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, and Tricare), supplemented by private-pay options for clients seeking confidentiality or accelerated entry. Go-to-market is sales-led through a 24/7 admissions team that conducts free assessments, insurance verification within 24-48 hours, and individualized treatment mapping, with referral channels spanning healthcare providers, sober living homes, legal liaisons, employers, and earned media. Agape is accredited by the Joint Commission (Gold Seal) and LegitScript, holds HIPAA-compliant operations, and was named a South Florida Sun Sentinel Top Workplace for 2023. The company is led by founder and CEO George J. Mavrookas, with a C-suite that includes a Chief Program Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Medical Director, and Clinical Directors, and reports no external funding rounds or institutional investors in available materials.
