McCallum Place Eating Disorder Centers

What McCallum Place Eating Disorder Centers does

McCallum Place Eating Disorder Centers is a privately held, for-profit behavioral healthcare facility specializing in the treatment of eating disorders across the full continuum of care — residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), continuing care, and transitional living. Founded in 2014 by Dr. Kimberli McCallum and acquired by Acadia Healthcare (NASDAQ: ACHC) in September 2014, the company operates from its headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri with an additional IOP site in Overland Park, Kansas and transitional housing in Kirkwood, Missouri. McCallum Place treats pre-adolescents (ages 6-12), adolescents, adults, military veterans, and athletes across all genders, with diagnoses including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, purging disorder, and night eating syndrome, plus co-occurring anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and personality disorders. Sub-brands include the Victory Program for Athletes, which integrates sport psychology, sport dietitians, and athletic trainers into recovery; the Service Resiliency Unit (SRU) for Veterans; and the Pre-Adolescent Unit, which has capacity for up to 12 pediatric patients.

The underlying care model combines on-site medical and psychiatric management with intensive individualized psychotherapy and nutritional rehabilitation in a non-hospital residential setting. McCallum Place deploys evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and Maudsley Family-Based Therapy, augmented by animal-assisted therapy (canine therapists Arlo, Finn, and Mavis), yoga, mindfulness, and experiential therapies. The technology stack is clinical rather than software-centric: an interdisciplinary care team (double board-certified psychiatrists, PMHNPs, physician assistants, sport dietitians, registered dietitians, art therapists, teachers, and athletic trainers) coordinates care, with a free online eating disorder screening tool and a 24/7 admissions line (844-250-8532) serving as the primary digital front door. All Victory Program levels are Joint Commission accredited, and the organization holds IAEDP membership, Cognia accreditation, REDC consortium membership, and HIPAA/42 CFR Part 2 compliance. Research partnerships span Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis University, University of Missouri, University of Louisville, University of North Carolina, Bryn Mawr College, and the Residential Eating Disorders Consortium.

Revenue is generated through insurance reimbursement and private pay across the residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient service lines. McCallum Place is in-network with major commercial insurers — Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and United Healthcare — and explicitly does not accept Medicare or Medicaid. Go-to-market is admissions-led: a 24/7 phone line with trained admissions counselors handles free confidential pre-admission assessments and benefits verification, complemented by a dedicated professional referral channel for therapists, physicians, and hospitals, plus digital lead capture via the website and online self-assessment tool. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through individualized assessment and insurance verification, with program lengths of approximately 30 days for residential, 4-8 weeks for PHP, and a minimum of 3 days per week for IOP.
