Project Transition

What Project Transition does

Project Transition is a privately held, community-based behavioral health care organization founded in 1982 and headquartered in Chalfont, Pennsylvania. It operates two core programs: a Residential Mental Health program that places adults with serious mental illness (and co-occurring disorders) into apartment-based therapeutic communities rather than institutional facilities, and a Systems of Support (SOS) program providing crisis prevention and stabilization services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who have behavioral challenges. The underlying clinical model is a psychiatric rehabilitation approach built on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered treatment planning, and full coordination of behavioral and physical health, with on-site clinical staff supporting members in recovery centers and apartment settings.

The company runs seven or more program locations across southeastern Pennsylvania (Berks and Philadelphia counties), Tennessee (Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis coming soon), North Carolina (Wilmington), and provides SOS services in Alabama. It is state licensed and fully accredited by The Joint Commission and designated as an EPIC EBP program. All revenue is generated through Medicaid-funded services delivered via formal referral partnerships with four managed care organizations: CBH and CCBH (Pennsylvania), TennCare (Tennessee), and Trillium (North Carolina). The GTM motion is sales-led and referral-driven: hospitals, partial hospital programs, case managers, social workers, therapists, and psychiatrists submit referrals to MCOs, which then route approved members to Project Transition with a stated goal of admission within five business days. No public pricing, revenue figures, or outside investment are disclosed.
