Wellbridge

What Wellbridge does

Wellbridge is a private, for-profit inpatient addiction treatment center founded in 2020 by CEO Andrew Drazan and headquartered on a 96-acre private campus in Calverton, New York (Long Island), approximately 71 miles east of Manhattan. The company provides a full continuum of substance use disorder care — medical detoxification, residential rehabilitation (typically 28-30 days), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and aftercare planning — delivered alongside specialized programs for six distinct patient populations: healthcare professionals, first responders, executives and business professionals, young adults, older adults, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. The clinical model integrates evidence-based therapies (CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed therapy) with holistic modalities (yoga, creative arts therapy, recreational therapy, vocational support), housed within a 10,000-square-foot wellness center featuring exercise programs, serenity pools, and a golf simulator.

The facility holds OASAS state accreditation and operates under HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance frameworks for protected health information. Revenue derives from insurance reimbursement, as the company is in-network with multiple major commercial carriers including Aetna, Cigna, and BlueCross BlueShield, supplemented by self-pay arrangements. The go-to-market motion is primarily direct-to-consumer, supported by a dedicated admissions team that handles confidential phone screening, insurance verification and pre-authorization, and coordinates same-day or next-day admissions, with additional patient flow from healthcare provider and Employee Assistance Program referrals. Distribution has expanded beyond the Long Island flagship to include a New York City satellite office at 1622 York Ave, and the company maintains content marketing through The Wellbridge Brief blog, organic SEO, earned media (NYT, ABC News), and an active social presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The Center for Addiction Science functions as a research and thought leadership arm. In April 2026, Wellbridge divested non-core fitness assets (New Mexico Sports & Wellness and Colorado Athletic Club) to Genesis Health Clubs, indicating a strategic refocus on its core addiction treatment platform.
