Behavioral and mental health remain nascent fields that are rapidly evolving beyond substance use disorder treatment. The growing recognition of the direct link between mental health, behavioral health, and physical health has driven advocacy aimed to improve access to care and reduce industry stigma. This has likewise fueled increased funding from lawmakers and a more favorable reimbursement environment, attracting significant pools of private capital. Behavioral and mental health providers are navigating accelerating growth opportunities—including new treatment services and the leveraging of technology—while focusing on delivering quality care, expanding access to care, and developing tools to demonstrate outcomes in preparation for the industry’s growing adoption of value-based reimbursement. At Edgemont, we leverage our deep industry experience to help clients reach outcomes that are both financially and strategically beneficial—enabling clients to navigate the complexities of the growing behavioral and mental health market.
