Monte Nido, Discovery Behavioral Health announced eating disorder treatment facilities
Miami-based Monte Nido & Affiliates and Irvine, California-based Discovery Behavioral Health announced it is opening new facilities to treat eating disorders.
Monte Nido, which specializes in eating disorder treatment and is among the largest in that space, announced in November two new facilities — a residential eating disorder center in Palmetto Bay, Florida and a new ambulatory clinic in Middletown, Connecticut.
The Palmetto Bay facility is slated to open in early 2023 and operate as Clementine Palmetto Bay. The facility will serve adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and/or exercise addiction. The Middletown clinic is apparently the first of its kind in the city and will serve individuals of all genders 12 years and older, according to a news release.
Announced on Dec. 8, Discovery Behavioral Health announced the opening of a 48-bed facility in Downtown Milwaukee. It will operate as the Center For Discovery and will provide adults outpatient and residential care.
Both are backed by private equity with active behavioral health platform companies. Denver, Colorado-based Revelstoke Capital Partners acquired Monte Nido in August. Webster Equity Partners made its behavioral health debut in 2011 when it invested in Discovery Behavioral Health. It now operates more than 145 treatment centers.
Acadia Healthcare plans 120-bed hospital in Madison
Franklin, Tennessee-based Acadia Healthcare (Nasdaq: ACHC) started the regulatory approval process to build a new facility in Madison, Wisconsin.
Public documents show that the nation’s largest pure-play behavioral health provider will build a 120-bed, 84,000-square-foot facility. The project will renovate and add on to an existing 50,000-square-foot, two-story office building on the property.
The entire campus includes 5.75 acres and about 326 parking spaces, the documents show.
The facility will provide inpatient care to adults and children. The beds will be split into four units. Acadia Healthcare estimates that it will employ about 240 people in total to work at the facility.
Pending regulatory approvals and other development planning, Acadia Healthcare project construction on the facility is to be completed in December 2024.
Initially reported by the Wisconsin State Journal, the project seems to be a solo development by Acadia Healthcare. De novo expansion of wholly-owned facilities is one part of a multi-pronged plan to double the company’s revenue by 2028.
