Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions

What Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions does

Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions, LLC is a private, Ohio-domiciled behavioral health provider founded in 2018 by Matthew Romeo in Whitehall, Ohio, operating an integrated continuum of substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health treatment services across 15+ owned facilities in central and northern Ohio including Columbus, Whitehall, Marysville, Reynoldsburg, Kenton, Lancaster, Lima, Marion, Newark, and Zanesville. The clinical portfolio spans Residential Withdrawal Management (detox) launched in October 2024, Partial Hospitalization (Anchor PHP), Intensive Outpatient (Beacon IOP), Medication-Assisted Treatment using Suboxone/Vivitrol/naltrexone, Comprehensive Mental Health Services, Navigate Teletherapy delivered over encrypted video, Voyage Peer Support, and Harbor Recovery Housing, allowing clients to step down through increasingly independent levels of care within a single provider network. The company is CARF accredited and LegitScript certified, operates under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality frameworks, and employs a Chief Recovery Officer alongside a full executive bench including a CEO, CFO, and VPs of Infrastructure/IT, Operations, Clinical Operations, and HR.

The business model is fee-for-service clinical care reimbursed primarily through insurance payers including Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial health plans, with the admissions team conducting pre-screening, insurance verification, and level-of-care matching for incoming patients. The go-to-market is hybrid: a sales-led direct admissions motion via phone (614-334-6903) and online contact/referral forms, layered with a community-led outreach program led by a Director of Community Outreach (LeAnn Young) that drives referrals from healthcare providers, community organizations, and educational events across Ohio. Marketing channels include the company website, an SEO-driven set of location landing pages, blog content on addiction recovery topics, and community educational programming. Distribution is direct through owned facilities plus telehealth, with channel referrals from community partners.

The company is institutionally backed by Amulet Capital Partners, a healthcare-focused private equity firm that invested in March 2022, providing capital that has supported the buildout of the executive team and the expansion of locations and service lines. Headcount is reported at 251-500 employees and the company has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or M&A history, indicating growth has been organic and de novo rather than acquisitive.
