About BHG Medical Services
Behavioral Health Group (BHG) stands as a prominent provider of outpatient services for addiction treatment, working closely with referral partners to aid individuals in their recovery from opioid dependency. With a foundation in evidence-based practices, BHG employs a multidisciplinary team that combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and comprehensive support services—customized to fit each patient’s specific recovery goals.
With 114 treatment centers located in 22 states, BHG is recognized as the largest outpatient treatment network in the U.S. accredited by the Joint Commission. This extensive network enables the organization to apply uniform best practices throughout its facilities, helping over 43,000 patients on a daily basis. Outcomes demonstrate that 92% of patients experience a better quality of life and improved mental health, while 83% show a decline in substance use and 45% find employment within their first year of treatment.
BHG ranks among the top 4.2% of treatment providers nationwide that offer all three FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, complemented by counseling and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) at certain sites. The center's holistic approach focuses on enhancing treatment retention, decreasing opioid consumption, reducing high-risk behaviors, and fostering sustainable recovery.
