Agape is a residential therapeutic community staffed 24 hours a day by certified substance abuse counselors and client service personnel.

Residents also have access to a broad range of services from community agencies and from mental health professionals who periodically conduct in-house seminars in a variety of specialized areas.

Agape receives financial support from United Way, other state and federal sources, and private donations.
