About the Company

Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health

Outpatient behavioral health and addiction treatment

Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health provides outpatient addiction and behavioral health care through structured, three-hour intensive outpatient programs that let working adults continue their routines while receiving treatment. Its centers deliver coordinated care with evaluation, group and individual therapy, and medical oversight in an outpatient setting, expanding over time via acquisitions to serve a broader payer mix, including Medicaid and Medicare. Unlike programs that rely on long residential stays, Kolmac scales its outpatient model and selectively grows through partnerships to reach more patients and insurer types across multiple states. Its goal is to offer accessible, insurer-compatible outpatient care for addiction and behavioral health to working adults and broader populations within a regional footprint.
