Private Equity Investing in Mental Health Facilities
Private equity firms are increasingly investing in mental health and substance use disorder treatment facilities, with around six to seven percent of these facilities now owned by private equity. The rising demand for mental health services and treatment for opioid use disorder has led to this trend.
