This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

Behavioral Health Group (BHG) is a leading provider of outpatient addiction treatment services, collaborating with referral partners to support individuals in their recovery from opioid use. Grounded in evidence-based practices, BHG’s multidisciplinary team integrates medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and wraparound services— tailored to each patient’s unique goals and recovery pathway. Operating 114 treatment centers across 22 states, BHG is the largest Joint Commission-accredited outpatient treatment network in the U.S. This reach allows the organization to implement consistent best practices across its locations, serving over 43,000 patients daily. Reported outcomes show that 92% of patients experience improved quality of life and mental health, 83% report decreased substance use, and 45% secure employment within their first year of treatment. BHG is among the 4.2% of treatment providers nationally that offer all three FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, paired with counseling and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) at select sites. Its whole-person approach aims to support treatment retention, reduce opioid use, minimize risk behaviors, and promote long-term recovery.
