The Ridge Ohio announced that it has been acquired by Thesis Capital Partners for an undisclosed price.
The Ridge Ohio is a physician-led addiction treatment center in Ohio. Founded in 2011 by Dr. Jeffrey Stuckert, John McKay and other national investors, The Ridge Ohio has grown from its origins as a 16-bed residential program into a 32-bed continuum of care, encompassing detox, residential and outpatient services across its Cincinnati and Columbus locations.
Founded in 2017, Thesis Capital Partners is a Houston, Texas-based private equity firm specializing in partnerships with family-owned businesses.
“This marks a meaningful milestone to further the vision Dr. Stuckert set in motion to reach more clients and their families suffering from the disease of addiction,” commented John McKay, who now joins the board of directors representing the original investor group. “Our investor group is excited to stay on as an investor in the Ridge, while backing Thesis’ strong leadership.”
“This partnership enables us to expand The Ridge’s physician-led model while preserving the discretion and clinical excellence our professional clients expect,” said Stacy Klousiadis, CEO of The Ridge Ohio.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction marks the 84th Behavioral Health Care transaction to be announced since the start of 2025, and the 13th in the substance use disorder treatment specialty. There were 18 substance use disorder treatment acquisitions announced in 2024.
