What Exodus Recovery does

Exodus Recovery, Inc. is a privately held, for-profit behavioral healthcare organization founded in 1989 and headquartered in Culver City, California. The company delivers psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment services across five California counties — Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, Orange, and Napa — operating as a contractor to county Departments of Mental Health. Its service portfolio spans the full acuity spectrum of public behavioral health, including 16-bed Psychiatric Health Facilities, the 50-bed David L. Murphy Sobering Center, 15-bed Crisis Residential Treatment Programs, Crisis Stabilization Units, Urgent Care Centers, Wellness Centers, Full Service Partnership programs, Mobile Crisis Response Teams, AB 109 forensic reentry services, Project Connect for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and a Homeless Task Force.

The business model is fundamentally a government-contract operator. Revenue is generated through county behavioral health contracts (LA County DMH and San Diego County DMH being the principal anchors), Medi-Cal fee-for-service billing, and — more recently — CalAIM Enhanced Care Management agreements with five Medi-Cal managed care plans: Blue Shield Promise, Community Health Group, Health Net, Molina, and United Health Care. The company has additionally contracted with the San Diego Regional Center and the California Department of Developmental Services to serve IDD populations. There is no commercial or out-of-state revenue stream evident in the available data, making the company structurally a public-sector behavioral health provider.

Operationally, Exodus Recovery is led by a clinically credentialed executive team including a President/CEO (LPCC), two Medical Directors, a Chief Clinical Officer (RN), a Chief Strategy and Implementation Officer, a CFO/Chief Regulatory Officer, a Chief Programs Officer, and a Chief Deputy Nursing Officer, supported by multiple vice presidents across operations, nursing, quality, and human resources. The company has accumulated 35 years of continuous operating history and 25+ facility and program sites, positioning it as an established incumbent in California's county-contracted behavioral health market — a market that is being reshaped by CalAIM reform, 988 implementation, and criminal justice realignment funding.
