The organization aims to collaborate with partners to ensure the smooth transfer of remaining programs. The announcement follows Cuyahoga County’s investment in a new behavioral health crisis center, targeting adults in need of mental health support. The center will offer 24/7 services and is part of efforts to enhance mental health care in the community despite existing concerns over funding and resources.
Cleveland—Recovery Resources, a behavioral health nonprofit organization, has announced plans to transition its services to MetroHealth by the year 2026. This decision comes in light of financial challenges that have increasingly impacted the operations of healthcare organizations in Northeast Ohio.
As part of the transition, Recovery Resources aims to collaborate with various partners to ensure the seamless transfer of its remaining programs, which include housing, employment, and community mental health initiatives. The MetroHealth System is highlighted as a critical partner in this transition, emphasizing its commitment to providing uninterrupted care and support to the community.
The closure of Recovery Resources is scheduled for mid-2026 as it winds down operations. Cuyahoga County, in a proactive step to enhance mental health services, is also investing $7 million from opioid settlement funds to construct a new behavioral health crisis center, set to open on September 2, 2026. This facility is envisioned as an essential entry point for individuals in mental health crises, offering immediate care and support services.
The new behavioral health crisis center will operate 24/7, targeting adults aged 18 and older, and it is designed to serve “thousands” of individuals in need of help. The center will provide vital services, including crisis stabilization, detox programs, and connections to long-term treatment options.
Despite these advancements, concerns regarding funding and resource allocation among existing behavioral health service providers have been raised. In light of these challenges, Cuyahoga County leaders are actively seeking to bring together providers to discuss service delivery and sustainable funding solutions moving forward.
In a separate but related development, PRIME exits and American HealthCare Capital have put a solo behavioral health practice located in the Cleveland area up for sale. The practice specializes in outpatient psychiatric and counseling services primarily for adults, providing a range of services that include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual counseling, medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, ADD testing, guardianship expert opinions, and prenuptial counseling.
This practice, valued at $650,000 (not including cash, accounts receivable, and working capital), has shown consistent financial performance, generating over $500,000 in annual revenue with an adjusted pretax profit of approximately $150,000. The growth potential for this practice is significant, with opportunities for expanded hours, re-establishing Medicaid and Medicare patient services, and activating an underused Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) program.
The current payer mix for the practice predominantly includes Commercial Insurance, BWC, and Self-Pay clients. It operates under an owner-operator model, supported by a Practice Manager/RN and a Receptionist. The current owner intends to retire but is willing to assist during the transition phase for the new owner.
Referrals to the practice come from a variety of sources, such as hospitals, other healthcare providers, its website, families, and through self-referrals. Located strategically in professional medical office settings, the practice is well-regarded within the community for its quality of care and comprehensive outpatient services.
The developments surrounding Recovery Resources and the sale of the behavioral health practice underscore both the challenges and opportunities within Cleveland’s mental health landscape. As services transition and funding initiatives emerge, the community’s ability to access timely and effective behavioral health care remains a priority for local leaders and organizations.
