Texas – Bradford Health Services has announced the acquisition of three addiction treatment facilities in Texas: Last Resort Recovery Center, Crestone Wellness, and The Chapter House. This acquisition, revealed on Wednesday, aims to enhance Bradford’s presence and service offerings within the state’s growing addiction treatment landscape.
The three facilities, previously operated under a trust managed by Bill and Ann Schneider, have a combined capacity of 160 beds. This includes 103 residential and detox treatment beds, along with additional options for partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and sober living arrangements. As a result of this acquisition, Bradford now operates a total of 31 facilities.
Among the newly acquired facilities, Last Resort Recovery Center was established in 2021 and offers a range of treatment options, including medical detox and residential services. The financial terms of the acquisition remain undisclosed.
Bradford Health Services is backed by Lee Equity, a private equity firm that specializes in middle-market investments. Lee Equity acquired Bradford in 2022, and this recent acquisition aligns with the organization’s growth strategy aimed at supporting top-performing operators in the addiction treatment sector.
The acquisition of these facilities contributes to Bradford’s ongoing expansion strategy, which previously included the acquisition of Lakeview Health in September 2024 and additional assets in Southaven, Mississippi in 2023. The organization also has plans to build a new $25 million, 100-bed facility in Southaven, further enhancing their service delivery capabilities.
Rob Marsh, the CEO of Bradford Health Services, emphasized the importance of providing quality services that cater to a diverse range of patient needs. The services offered at the new facilities include:
- A men-only campus that provides medical detox, residential treatment, PHP, and virtual intensive outpatient programming (IOP) with treatment durations ranging from 45 to 90 days.
- A co-ed campus offering medical detox and residential treatment with standard treatment stays of around 21 days.
- The Chapter House, specifically focused on extended care and sober living for men.
The Chapter House is the newest addition to the Bradford network, having been acquired in April 2025. This acquisition is significant as it allows Bradford to better serve a broader segment of the addiction recovery population.
Despite the expansive growth plans, Bradford Health Services intends for these facilities to operate independently, which facilitates unique service offerings tailored to specific demographics despite geographical distances. Although there are opportunities for cross-referral among the facilities, they will maintain their distinct operations.
The addiction treatment market is currently characterized as competitive, with a noticeable downturn in deal-making activities compared to previous years. Marsh noted that Bradford’s acquisition strategy seeks out underperforming assets that could benefit from the company’s financial and operational enhancements.
Looking forward, Bradford anticipates that their total bed capacity will potentially double by the time they engage in recapitalization. The company is not pursuing aggressive expansion for its own sake but seeks strategic acquisitions that align with its core mission and values.
Bradford Health Services continues to be a notable player in the addiction treatment landscape, navigating the complexities of this challenging market while prioritizing the delivery of high-quality care.
