Meby Behandlingshem

What Meby Behandlingshem does

Meby Behandlingshem AB is a privately held Swedish residential treatment facility (HVB-hem) founded in 1988, operating from Båvensnäs in Flens kommun, Södermanland. The company provides care for adolescents aged 15-20 with combined psychosocial problems and addiction (drug and alcohol), including co-occurring psychiatric and neurodevelopmental (NPF) issues. Treatment is delivered through 8 residential treatment places and 4 intermediate phase places, with capacity for acute and assessment placements, and an additional supported housing (stödboende) site in Eskilstuna. The care model is built on Kognitiv Miljøterapi (Cognitive Environmental Therapy), layered with manual-based programs including Repulse (impulse control), ACRA (addiction treatment), CRAFT (family support), KBT-based individual therapy, relapse prevention, and a token economy motivation system. An in-house psychiatric team supports medication assessment and integration where needed.

The facility also coordinates schooling with local compulsory and upper secondary schools and arranges internships, addressing the educational disruption that accompanies residential placement. Safety is supported by an outdoor camera surveillance system with controlled access. Placements are made exclusively by Swedish municipalities and district administrations under the Social Services Act (SoL) or the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU); the company reports more than 40 client municipalities spanning large parts of Sweden, including Stockholm, Örebro, Karlstad, Uppsala, Eskilstuna, and Linköping.

Meby generates revenue through per-placement fees negotiated with municipal social services departments, structured as recurring contracts tied to occupancy of treatment beds. The go-to-market is direct B2G sales: municipalities place youths through social services referrals rather than via intermediaries. The company is registered as a private limited company (AB) under Swedish corporate number 556518-6284, operates without disclosed external investors, and employs 11-50 staff across clinical and operational roles. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with negotiated public-sector placement agreements.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Attendo AB: Attendo is a major Nordic care services company with Swedish operations spanning elderly care, social services, and individual & family services including residential placements for young people. Like Ambea, it competes directly for municipal HVB and stödboende contracts.
• Priory Group: Priory is the UK's largest independent provider of mental health and behavioral care, including CAMHS residential services for adolescents. It is comparable to Meby as a large established operator of residential youth mental health and addiction treatment beds.
• Ambea AB: Ambea is one of the largest private Nordic care providers, operating HVB-hem and supported housing for children and youth across Sweden (including via Humana and Nytida). It competes for the same municipal SoL/LVU placement contracts that fund Meby.
• Elysium Healthcare: Elysium operates specialist mental health hospitals and residential services for adolescents and adults in the UK. Comparable to Meby for residential treatment of co-occurring psychiatric and behavioral/substance-use conditions in young people.
• Humana AB: Humana (now part of Ambea) operates a broad portfolio of personal assistance, individual & family services, and HVB-hem placements in Sweden. It is the most direct large-scale private competitor in the Swedish youth residential care segment.
• Orpea: Orpea is a large pan-European care and residential services group with mental health and addiction offerings across multiple countries. It is comparable as a large incumbent exploring similar residential youth and behavioral health segments in Europe.

Others

• Statens Institutionsstyrelse (SiS): SiS is the Swedish state agency that runs compulsory youth institutions under LVU. Although it is a public-sector body rather than a commercial peer, it competes for the same finite pool of LVU-placed youth and sets de facto benchmarks for cost and quality.

Direct peers

• Cambian Group: Cambian is a UK specialist provider of residential education, mental health, and behavioral services for looked-after children and adolescents. It is the closest international analog to a focused, manual-driven HVB-hem like Meby.
