Mental Health & Substance Abuse Centers in the US industry analysis

Medicare and Medicaid coverage expansion and funding through SAMHSA have aligned with changing societal attitudes toward the importance of substance abuse and mental illness treatment to drive revenue growth. Yet the service gap between those who need and receive treatment underscores the opportunities for growth at centers or new entry. High utilization rates at substance abuse residential centers indicate stress on service levels, with geographic data showing some locations are underserved relative to the population. With room to grow, industry-wide revenue grew at a CAGR of 2.2% to $24.3 billion, including a moderate dip of 0.2% in 2023 alone.

Trends and Insights

  • Government funding and assistance play a critical role in performance. Residential centers sustain healthy profit and revenue because of strong government support and expanding telehealth capabilities to boost revenue growth.
  • New technology will increase competition and erode demand. Residential treatment centers will face tougher competition from outpatient therapy providers as AI, smart wearables, telemedicine and digital pills become accepted and affordable, potentially replacing in-house and person-to-person requirements.
  • CON laws may not substantially hinder growth. In the Southeast region, states like Florida maintain many locations despite substance abuse CON laws, benefiting from their large populations and urban areas.
  • Technology will foster competition. Hospitals and outpatient facilities can use new wearable and telehealth technologies to replace many features of residential therapy.
