Altior Healthcare

What Altior Healthcare does

Altior Healthcare, LLC is a privately held, multi-site behavioral health operator headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that delivers residential mental health treatment for adolescents, young adults, adults, and U.S. veterans. The company is structured around three program brands operating across 15+ residential locations in five states (California, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, and Texas) and serving more than 300 clients daily with a workforce of approximately 500 employees. Its primary program, Paradigm Treatment Centers, delivers 30-90 day personalized residential psychiatric care using CBT, DBT, EMDR, and experiential modalities (equine, music, art therapy), with a high-intensity 5-days-per-week individual therapy model. Ridge RTC provides adolescent and emerging-adult residential treatment across a 350-acre southeastern New Hampshire campus and a newly added Maine footprint, and Patriot PowerUp is a 45-day veteran-focused neuro-rehabilitation program that integrates HBOT, ketamine infusion therapy, neurofeedback, and TMS, accessible nationally through the VA Community Care Network.

The business model is insurance-driven daily-rate residential billing, with in-network status across Carelon, Anthem, Compsyc, Magellan, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, and Kaiser, supplemented by self-pay and VA-referred veteran admissions. Patient acquisition is executed through an inside-sales-style direct admissions motion: a corporate admissions team, a VP of Corporate Admissions, West Coast and East Coast Behavioral Health Advisors, and a VP of Clinical Partnerships run referral development with clinicians, schools, community organizations, and payor utilization-review teams. Distribution is direct-only, with no third-party resellers.

Altior's corporate history reflects inorganic and organic expansion: Paradigm Treatment Centers was founded circa 2013, Altior acquired Ironwood Maine in September 2021 (anchoring Ridge RTC's Maine presence), added a new Paradigm facility in Idaho in 2024, and launched Patriot PowerUp in 2024. The company holds Joint Commission accreditation (covering Patriot PowerUp), is structured as a California LLC, and is led by CEO Ken Kosza, CFO Jonathan Monroe, CCO Dustin Wagner, and CMO Randy Clunan. A 2025 disclosure of an employee-email phishing incident affecting patient information is the most notable operational risk event in the available record.
