Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers has announced the opening of six new locations in the Denver, Colorado area. The rollout begins in October, with all six facilities expected to be operational by February 2021. These additions are part of the company’s broader expansion plan to meet the rising demand for autism therapy across the United States.
Based in Indianapolis, Hopebridge is one of the nation’s largest autism therapy networks. The organization provides applied behavior analysis (ABA), diagnostic evaluations, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, all within a center-based model. Backed by Arsenal Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in New York City, Hopebridge has become a key player in the autism therapy landscape, serving children between 18 months and 12 years old.
Earlier in 2020, Hopebridge entered Colorado with an ambitious plan to open 12 new locations by mid-2021. Additionally, the organization announced it would add eight new centers in Minnesota within the same timeframe.
Services at the New Hopebridge Centers
The new Colorado locations will provide families with access to comprehensive autism therapy services. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) will be a cornerstone of treatment, supported by diagnostic assessments and tailored programming. Hopebridge has already begun scheduling diagnostic assessments and ABA evaluations at the new facilities, ensuring families can start the process of accessing care even before the centers officially open.
This expansion reflects Hopebridge’s mission to make autism therapy accessible to more families. By targeting states with a growing need for services, the provider ensures that early learners have the best opportunity to thrive with timely interventions.
Recovery Centers of America Expands with Two New Programs
Recovery Centers of America (RCA), a leading substance use disorder treatment provider, has opened two new opioid use disorder programs in New Jersey. RCA, headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, is financially backed by Deerfield Management Company and operates more than a dozen inpatient and outpatient facilities across states including Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Illinois.
The two new programs are located in Iselin and Somerdale. The Iselin location, Woodbridge Healthcare Clinic, offers a comprehensive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program that includes detoxification services, patient assessments, and outpatient care. Medications such as methadone and suboxone are available, and the clinic also provides specialized programming for pregnant women who need support during treatment.
Meanwhile, the Somerdale facility expands RCA’s services with an office-based opioid treatment program (OTP). This program is located adjacent to RCA’s Bravo Medical, a comprehensive MAT facility, creating a hub of resources for patients seeking recovery.
RCA’s Continued Growth and Expansion
The launch of these programs comes just weeks after RCA opened its first Midwestern location near Chicago. By rapidly expanding into underserved regions, RCA continues to strengthen its commitment to addressing the opioid crisis with evidence-based treatment solutions. The addition of both MAT and OTP programs demonstrates RCA’s multi-pronged approach to supporting individuals at all stages of recovery.
Monte Nido & Affiliates Opens New Residential Eating Disorder Center
Monte Nido & Affiliates, a nationally recognized provider of eating disorder treatment, has announced the opening of a new residential facility in Lafayette, California. Located just outside of San Francisco, this center adds to the organization’s network of 25 facilities in 10 states.
Monte Nido offers a full continuum of care for individuals struggling with eating disorders, ranging from residential treatment to day programs. The Lafayette facility will provide programming for adults and will also address co-occurring conditions, such as substance use, trauma, and other psychiatric issues. This holistic approach reflects Monte Nido’s mission to treat the entire individual rather than focusing solely on eating disorder symptoms.
Backed by Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, a private equity firm, Monte Nido has continued to expand its reach to meet the rising demand for residential eating disorder treatment across the country. The addition of the Lafayette center underscores the organization’s commitment to bringing care closer to families in need.
Banyan Treatment Centers Expands to Delaware
Banyan Treatment Centers, one of the largest privately-owned addiction treatment providers in the United States, has opened a new facility in Delaware. The center will serve patients from the surrounding regions of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.
The new Delaware location offers detoxification and residential services for individuals struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Initially equipped with 32 beds, the facility is expected to expand to 60 beds by the end of 2020 once construction is completed.
Banyan’s National Presence
With the addition of the Delaware location, Banyan now operates 12 facilities nationwide. Its network spans several states, including Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, California, and Illinois. Banyan’s rapid growth reflects the increasing demand for accessible, comprehensive addiction treatment that integrates mental health care.
A Growing Network of Behavioral Health Providers
The expansion efforts by Hopebridge, Recovery Centers of America, Monte Nido & Affiliates, and Banyan Treatment Centers highlight a broader trend in behavioral health: rapid growth driven by urgent demand. From autism therapy to addiction and eating disorder treatment, these providers are investing heavily in new facilities and services to bridge care gaps across the country.
Private equity backing plays a significant role in many of these expansions, allowing organizations to finance new facilities and innovate treatment approaches. However, the ultimate driving force behind these growth strategies remains the overwhelming demand for care. Families and individuals are increasingly seeking specialized behavioral health services, and providers are stepping up to meet those needs.
As these organizations continue to grow, the impact on communities is profound. Families gain greater access to autism therapy services in Colorado, individuals battling opioid addiction in New Jersey receive more localized treatment options, adults struggling with eating disorders in California find residential care closer to home, and those seeking addiction treatment in Delaware benefit from expanded services.
The behavioral health landscape is evolving rapidly, with providers racing to meet the needs of a population that has long been underserved. The latest expansions from Hopebridge, RCA, Monte Nido, and Banyan are a testament to that ongoing commitment.
