Introduction
In the U.S., behavioral health is picking up momentum as mental health problems, substance abuse disorders, and autism and other developmental disorders are recognized as serious public health problems.The U.S. behavioral health market size is calculated at USD 94.82 billion in 2025 and is forecasted to reach around USD 165.38 billion by 2034, accelerating at a CAGR of 6.40% from 2025 to 2034. Demand for accessible, evidence-based treatments such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), has risen largely due to increased awareness, destigmatization, and legislation. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic raised the volume of national conversations around mental health from underserved groups and exposed the gaps in our systems and the demand for scalable solutions. Now, employers, payers, and providers are focused on behavioral health as integral in the continuum of integrated care models to achieve better outcomes, lower long-term costs with the best Behavioral Health RCM practices, and meet increasingly high expectations for all aspects of whole-person, person-centred care.
