  • A groundbreaking is being held on Feb. 4 to highlight the new state-of-the-art center.

On Monday, Woodland Recovery Center announced that they are making a $25 million investment to build a new state-of-the-art, 100-bed facility in Southaven.

Woodland provides behavioral health and recovery services in the Delta region.

The organization described the expanded footprint “a significant milestone in its commitment to providing high-quality care for the residents of the Delta.”

“We could not be more excited to further our investment in the Southaven market and reinvest in the Delta,” said Bradley Diskin, CEO of Woodland Recovery Center, in a statement.

Diskin noted that the addition will allow them to provide an elevated care experience while creating new opportunities for the community.

“Our commitment to the Delta remains steadfast, and this expansion represents our dedication to improving lives across the region,” said Diskin.

In announcing the investment, Woodland said the build-out will not only provide a welcoming and therapeutic environment for patients but also create a number of new jobs in Southaven, contributing to the local economy and bolstering the region’s workforce. However, no estimated job numbers were provided.

A ceremonial groundbreaking will be held on February 4 on Briargate Way in Southaven. Those wishing to attend the event can register here.
