Pacific Grove Hospital

What Pacific Grove Hospital does

Pacific Grove Hospital is a 68-bed acute psychiatric and behavioral health facility located at 5900 Brockton Avenue in Riverside, California, operating under the legal entity Vista Behavioral Hospital, LLC. It delivers a full continuum of mental health and substance use disorder treatment to adult and adolescent patients in the Riverside and Corona region, including inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), adult chemical dependency/detoxification services, a Family Treatment Program, and an Adolescent Virtual IOP. Treatment follows the proprietary "Whole Person Approach" addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs across disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, and self-harm, alongside addictions to alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, heroin, opiates, marijuana, and prescription drugs. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission (JCAHO Gold Seal of Approval), complies with HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, California CMIA, and CCPA, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACMD).

Revenue is generated through per-diem billing for inpatient care (gross $2,495/day, discounted cash $850-$1,056, payer-negotiated $841-$2,495) and for outpatient PHP ($860/day gross, $500 discounted cash) and IOP ($571/day gross, $350 discounted cash), with collections primarily from contracted commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and VA payers, complemented by self-pay and charity care under a published price transparency policy. Go-to-market combines 24/7 walk-in admissions, a professional healthcare referral program, payer-driven network inclusion, and a digital front door via the corporate website, social media, and online self-assessments. Technology infrastructure includes telehealth delivery for the adolescent IOP and integration with Surescripts and Health Information Exchanges for medication history and prescription drug monitoring program reporting.

Operations are supported by the Acadia Healthcare corporate structure (parent headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee), which provides centralized compliance, ethics, privacy, and HR frameworks; the hospital's CCPA and HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices are administered through Acadia's compliance channel. Pacific Grove functions as a single-site specialty provider within a larger national behavioral health platform, with no disclosed M&A, capital raises, or site-specific leadership changes in the input data.
