Ground Broken for Behavioral Health Expansion in El Paso

Ground has been broken on a new addition to Rio Vista Behavioral Health Hospital in El Paso, Texas for Acadia Healthcare Company Inc.

The project will provide Rio Vista Behavioral Health with a new two-story, 40-bed unit and outdoor recreation space encompassing 38,000 square feet, and a new one-story outpatient center with additional parking and flatwork encompassing 14,000 square feet.

Rio Vista Behavioral Health is a mental health hospital, offering comprehensive care for men, women and children struggling with mental health and substance abuse concerns. The state-of-the-art facility provides inpatient services tailored to each patients’ individual needs on their path to recovery.

Recently, the treatment facility launched remote services to continue serving patients throughout the pandemic and opened a 20-bed S.T.A.R. Military and Veteran’s Unit to provide customized treatment programs tailored to the needs of active-duty service members, veterans and first responders.

The project team for the addition includes Adolfson & Peterson Construction and Stengel Hill Architects. Construction on the expansion project will begin in January 2022 and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2023.
