DEVEREUX TREATMENT NETWORK

What DEVEREUX TREATMENT NETWORK does

Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health (operating the Devereux Treatment Network) is a U.S. non-profit behavioral health organization headquartered in Villanova, Pennsylvania, with treatment operations across 10 states: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts & Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The network was established in Cobb County, Georgia in 1973 at the invitation of then-Governor Jimmy Carter, and the organization has operated continuously for over 50 years serving children, adolescents, and individuals with emotional, behavioral, intellectual, and developmental disabilities.

The organization's core service offerings include intensive residential treatment using individual, group, and family therapy integrated with a fully accredited school program, specialty foster care placements, and specialized facilities such as Grace's Place (residential treatment for survivors of commercial sexual exploitation) and Gigi's House (specialized youth residential). Nationally, the portfolio extends to Autism Services, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities services, Specialty Mental Health, School-Based Prevention/Intervention, Clinical and Professional Training and Research, Continuing Education, and an APA-accredited Doctoral Internship in Health Service Psychology. Workforce development is delivered through the Devereux ASCEND Career Accelerator Program, and the Devereux Center for Resilient Children produces resilience resources and training.

The business model combines three revenue streams: insurance reimbursement (including Medicaid) for clinical and residential services, government contracts and public funding across the states in which it operates, and charitable contributions collected via online donations, stock gifts, and matching-gift programs. Go-to-market is referrals-driven: clinical and child welfare agencies, schools, healthcare providers, and families initiate admissions through dedicated phone lines and online intake. Customer segments are diversified across children with emotional/behavioral health challenges, youth survivors of commercial sexual exploitation, foster care children, and individuals with intellectual, developmental, or autism diagnoses. Distribution is concentrated regionally through licensed facilities, with a national outcomes report published annually and a 2026–2028 strategic plan in place.
