JACKSONVILLE, FL, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sophros Recovery, a leading outpatient addiction treatment center serving the Jacksonville and Tampa Bay area, was named on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, placing it among the 1,500 fastest-growing independent and entrepreneurial businesses in the country. The company also ranked No. 4 among Jacksonville-area businesses on this year’s list. The annual ranking spotlights companies driving innovation, creating jobs and shaping the future of the American economy.

“From the beginning, Sophros has been about building recovery pathways that actually work in the real world,” said Nick Padlo, CEO of Sophros Recovery. “This recognition reflects not just our growth, but the growing need for accessible treatment across Florida. We’re proud to keep expanding what’s possible for the people who trust us with their recovery.”

Sophros Recovery opened in 2021 after Padlo went through addiction and mental health struggles of his own. His experience motivated him to build the kind of program he wished had existed when he needed it, one that fills the gap between residential treatment and everyday life. Sophros treats adults facing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns such as depression and PTSD, offering individual, group and family therapy with treatment for alcohol, opioid, kratom and other addictions.

The growth behind this year’s ranking has been rapid. In the last three years alone, Sophros Recovery has grown 277%, expanding from a single center to three locations. Late in 2025, the company acquired Breakthroughs Counseling, a wide-range counseling service for individuals, couples and families navigating mental health concerns. Most recently, Sophros opened Soteria Recovery Homes in the Tampa Bay area, a first-of-its-kind sober living community that pairs clinical support with the stability of private living.

Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent, not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies, as of December 31, 2025.
