Centerstone Military Services

What Centerstone Military Services does

Centerstone Military Services is a specialized division of Centerstone, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit behavioral health organization headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee (EIN 20-0072992). The Military Services division delivers mental health counseling, PTSD treatment, trauma therapy (including EMDR), addiction services, and reintegration support to veterans, active duty service members, and their families, primarily through the Cohen Military Family Clinic network in Clarksville (TN), Fayetteville (NC), Hinesville (GA), and Jacksonville (FL). Services are funded in part by Steven A. Cohen philanthropy, enabling free care for uninsured and underinsured military-connected individuals through the National Veterans Counseling Fund.

The broader Centerstone platform provides a full continuum of behavioral health services—crisis intervention (24/7 hotline 1-877-HOPE123), inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy, addiction recovery, residential/housing programs, and children and family services—across nine U.S. states (Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee). Delivery channels include in-person clinics, one inpatient hospital facility (Bradenton, FL), and Zoom-based telehealth. Technology integrations are limited to standard productivity tooling (Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook, Zoom, PayPal); no proprietary AI/ML systems are in evidence. Pricing follows unit-based professional services billing with negotiated rates across Tricare, Medicare, Medicaid managed care, and commercial payers (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Behavioral). Revenue is supplemented by Centerstone's Foundation through charitable donations, endowments, and planned gifts. Centerstone recently merged with Brightli, unifying two leading behavioral health organizations under a single national mission and expanding combined operational scale.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Wounded Warrior Project: Large national nonprofit serving post-9/11 veterans with mental health, physical health, and family support programs. Directly comparable in mission and target population (veterans/families) and competes for the same donor and federal-grant dollars.
• Burrell Behavioral Health (now part of Centerstone network): Community mental health center in Missouri serving 40,000+ clients and listed as part of the Centerstone affiliate network. Directly comparable as a community-based behavioral health nonprofit, now operating under the same parent.
• Give an Hour: Nonprofit providing free mental health services to veterans, active duty, and their families via a network of licensed providers. Directly comparable free-service model targeting the same military population that Centerstone's Cohen clinics serve.
• Cohen Veterans Network: The national parent network of the Cohen Military Family Clinics that Centerstone operates. Cohen Veterans Network funds and brands the clinic network, so the two are directly aligned on the veteran/military family mental health mission and represent the closest comparable specialty provider.

Broad incumbents

• Acadia Healthcare: Large for-profit behavioral health operator with inpatient psychiatric and residential treatment facilities nationwide. Comparable in service mix (inpatient psychiatric, substance use treatment) and target populations, but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a community nonprofit.
• Magellan Health: Managed behavioral health organization and government health program contractor (including military health programs). Comparable in managing behavioral health benefits for military/veteran populations and competing for similar Tricare and government contracts.
• Universal Health Services (UHS) Behavioral Health: Major for-profit hospital operator with one of the largest U.S. behavioral health platforms, including inpatient psychiatric and residential programs. Comparable as a large incumbent offering overlapping services (inpatient psych, residential) but at much greater scale and as a for-profit.

Emerging players

• Tridiuum (a Bluesight company): Behavioral health software and care management vendor serving community mental health centers similar to Centerstone. Comparable as an emerging technology-enabled player in the same behavioral health delivery ecosystem, though not a direct clinical competitor.

Others

• National Council for Mental Wellbeing: Membership and advocacy organization representing community behavioral health organizations like Centerstone. Comparable as the industry association ecosystem in which Centerstone operates and as a peer in mission-aligned nonprofit behavioral health advocacy.

Regional players

• Humana Military (Tricare East contractor): Contractor administering the Tricare East military health benefit, including behavioral health benefits for active duty and families. Comparable as a counterparty on Centerstone's Tricare East payer relationship and as a regional administrator of the same benefit structure.
