These services are planned around each person’s individual objectives and recovery plan.
With 114 treatment centers in 22 states, BHG operates as the largest Joint Commission-accredited outpatient treatment network in the United States. This scale helps the organization apply standardized best practices across its sites and serve more than 43,000 patients each day. Its reported results indicate that 92% of patients see improvements in quality of life and mental health, 83% experience reduced substance use, and 45% obtain employment during their first year in treatment.
BHG is also part of the 4.2% of national addiction treatment providers that deliver all three FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, alongside counseling and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) at certain locations.
