    Behavioral Health

    Integrated care models for mental health and substance use treatment are becoming a priority across the country, and with that comes evolving regulations. We help clients understand the landscape while staying ahead of the trends affecting the industry.

    Overview

    Recent legislative enactments involving mental health and substance use disorder are expanding access to behavioral healthcare, indicating increased awareness of patients’ needs, quality of care, and cost efficiencies. With M&A activity on the rise, the development of new supportive housing facilities, and improved methods for reducing service costs, there has never been a more transformational time for this field. Nixon Peabody can partner with you to navigate this complex and fast-moving environment. Our team’s work is expansive—from healthcare regulatory, private equity, and M&A, to supportive housing transactions and public finance work. Our attorneys know your needs, and we have the experience to address your current concerns and help prepare you for future challenges.
