Addictions M&A at the Crossroads
Thursday, August 18 | 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Dexter W. Braff, President, The Braff Group
The mergers and acquisitions market in addictions and substance abuse is at an inflection point. Demand is beginning to shift from a largely, high-end, out-of-network, residential focus, to lower-end, in-network and community-based programs that may be short on sex appeal, but long on cost, growth, and stability appeal. We are already seeing this subtle shift in the recent swell of transaction activity involving medication assisted treatment providers. In this session, we will discuss why the substance abuse deal climate is in transition, and how this may re-shape investment strategies, demand, and valuation in addictions M&A over the next 12-36 months.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify why the mergers and acquisitions climate in addictions is changing
• Identify which segments in addictions are likely to experience the greatest growth in M&A activity
• Summarize the outlook for consolidation of activity in addictions over the next 12-36 months
