SPRINGFIELD – Behavioral Health Network, Inc. (BHN) announced today that it will assume Phoenix House’s Massachusetts substance use programs located in Springfield, Holyoke and Dorchester, effective early in November, in order to ensure optimal fiscal and clinical stability of the programs.
The programs that BHN will assume include Phoenix House’s outpatient operations in Springfield which provides integrated care for adults with substance use and behavioral health issues; and Phoenix House’s residential treatment programs located in Springfield, Holyoke and Dorchester, which provide individualized and family focused trauma-informed care through their residential, evidenced-based substance use treatment services.

Phoenix House New England’s President & CEO, Pete Mumma added, “Health care organizations everywhere are responding to changing market pressures by growing significantly larger, often through mergers and acquisitions.
