Fort Lauderdale, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/08/2020 -- Fort Lauderdale-based Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facility, Agape Treatment Center, has amplified their arsenal of treatment programs with the launch of a new family advocacy program.

The new program aims to educate families about the disease of the addiction and ways families are affected, while equipping them to work through the chaos they have experienced. Consequently, the institution is inviting families of past and current clients at Agape Treatment Center to meet and support each other under the guidance and facilitation of their mental health professionals.

Commenting on the launch of the new program, CEO and Founder of Agape Treatment Center George Mavrookas, said: "The Family Advocacy program is our newest initiative to help past and existing clients bridge the gap caused by their addictions. Our own experience has shown that the chances of recovery increase dramatically when the family participates in the healing process.  We wanted to tap into this expertise to give our clients and their families a lifeline on the road to recovery."

Studies have long shown a correlation between family involvement and the treatment of health problems. In fact, one federal funded study found that substance abuse treatment that includes family therapy is far more effective than those that don't. The study also found that family therapy also reduces instances of substance abuse, discourages relapse and increases family and social functioning.

The main goal of family therapy in substance abuse treatment is prevention. It also provides a neutral forum for families to solve problems. Therapists at Agape Treatment Center are highly trained to facilitate the family advocacy program. Therapy is hosted in a safe and supportive environment where families will learn how to work through the chaos they have experienced, set healthy boundaries and rebuild trust in relationships.

Participation in the Family Advocacy program may evoke feelings of anxiety and stress; however, Mavrookas assures those considering this new option that the sense of relief, hope and realistic expectations about recovery will far outweigh the initial challenges.

Fort Lauderdale, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/22/2020 -- Individuals struggling to access mental health treatment and drug rehab during Covid-19 have been given a lifeline at a Florida-based addiction rehabilitation facility, Agape Treatment Center.

The novel Corona Virus has undoubtedly brought on a lot of challenges. According to reports from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 40% of adults reported during late June that they were struggling with their mental health or substance use. Statistics also indicate that online alcohol sales in the United States increased by 243% since the start of the pandemic. Sadly, the social distancing, isolation and stay-at-home measures implemented to contain the spread of the disease have made it quite difficult for those with addiction and mental health issues to access treatment.

Agape Treatment Center is open and accepting admissions to assist individuals who have turned to drugs or alcohol to cope with the stress, worry, and fear associated with this unprecedented time. The facility offers comprehensive psychological, sociological, and spiritual solutions to help individuals get back on the path of sobriety. Their programs include medication assisted treatments, outpatient programming, intensive outpatient programming and individual therapy.

The facility is also fully equipped to handle mental health disorders as a dual diagnosis treatment facility for co-occurring disorders. Therapy is administered in a serene therapeutic environment by experienced licensed clinicians, therapists, and addiction professionals.

Founder and CEO of Agape Treatment Center, George Mavrookas, said: "We are so blessed to be able to help other alcoholics and addicts continue to fight a mental health battle while the world battles a pandemic. Agape Treatment Center is proud to serve on the front line and continue to help those who need our services during this time."

Aside from the evidenced-based programs offered at the facility, clients can bolster their treatment with amenities such as integrative medicine, nutrition therapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy and yoga.
