BayMark Health Services announced a trio of deals last week alone, doubling its transaction count for 2020, based on results from Healthcare Deals Database. With the backing of private equity firm Webster Equity Partners, the nationwide behavioral health provider acquired three new providers across three states for an undisclosed sum.
For the first deal, BayMark Health acquired Portland, Maine- based Liberty Bay Recovery Center, a residential treatment facility (59 beds) that offers treatment for a variety of addictions including not only opioids but also alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription drugs and other substances. It provides multiple levels of care including residential, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment.

Down in Louisiana, BayMark Health added Choices of Louisiana, which runs three opioid treatment programs, one in Alexandria and two in New Orleans. It provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction supported by substance use counseling.

BayMark now operates four outpatient opioid treatment clinics in the state in addition to eight outpatient office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) programs.
And to round out the week, BayMark Health purchased Recovery Pathways, an office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) provider based in Washington, Pennsylvania, with three locations. The programs in Washington (two) and Monroeville (one) offer medication-assisted treatment using buprenorphine-based medications.
