MeadowWood Behavioral Health Hospital

What MeadowWood Behavioral Health Hospital does

MeadowWood Behavioral Health Hospital is a licensed psychiatric hospital operating at 575 S Dupont Hwy, New Castle, Delaware, serving adolescents (ages 12-17), adults (18-64), and seniors (65+) in the greater Wilmington and New Castle County area. The facility is operated through PHC Meadowwood, LLC as a subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACMD), one of the largest behavioral health providers in the United States. Core service lines include three age-specific inpatient programs (Adolescent, Adult, Senior), a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), a Co-Occurring Disorders Program for dual diagnosis, and medical detoxification with substance abuse treatment covering alcohol, opioids, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, and prescription drugs.

The underlying technology stack is that of a conventional licensed healthcare facility — there is no proprietary software, no digital platform, and no AI/ML components evidenced. Patient-facing infrastructure consists of a content-driven website, online bill pay via PersonaPay, 24/7 phone access, and social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. Recruitment is handled through Acadia's centralized careers portal plus Indeed and Glassdoor. The facility holds The Joint Commission's Top Performer on Key Quality Measures accreditation and is HIPAA- and 42 CFR Part 2-compliant.

Revenue mechanics operate on a fee-for-service basis: inpatient care is billed per diem at $510-$2,400 depending on payer and program type, PHP/IOP services at $190-$500 per day/session, and detox at $510-$2,400 per day. Reimbursement flows primarily through in-network contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Delaware Medicaid (and multi-state Medicaid managed care plans), and TRICARE. Self-pay options with discounted cash pricing and financial assistance are available. Go-to-market is sales-led via professional healthcare referrals, walk-in admissions (24/7), employer outreach, and insurance network participation — typical for a community psychiatric hospital.
