Advantage Behavioral Health Named on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List, the Most Prestigious Ranking of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Advantage Recognized for 158% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses
Marlton, NJ, August 11, 2026 – Advantage Behavioral Health is proud to announce its inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. This recognition marks a significant milestone for Advantage and reflects the organization’s continued growth, expansion of services, and commitment to increasing access to high-quality behavioral healthcare.
With 158% revenue growth over the past three years, Advantage has continued to expand its presence, programs, and team while staying focused on the needs of the clients, families, and communities it serves. What began as a growing behavioral health organization has developed into a network serving adult and adolescent populations across multiple levels of care and specialties.
Colin Studwell, CEO of Advantage Behavioral Health, stated, “Being named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 is an incredible achievement for Advantage and, more importantly, a reflection of the people behind our growth. Every new location, program, and service represents an opportunity to help more individuals and families access the care they need. I’m extremely proud of our team and what we’ve built together. As we look ahead, we remain focused on thoughtful growth, strengthening the quality of our programs, and continuing to make behavioral healthcare more accessible in the communities we serve.”
Advantage’s inclusion on the Inc. 5000 places the organization among a select group of independent businesses recognized for exceptional growth. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years. Previous Inc. 5000 honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
The achievement comes as Advantage continues to invest in expanding access to behavioral healthcare through new locations, specialized programs, and a growing continuum of services. While the organization has experienced significant growth, its mission remains centered on providing compassionate, individualized, evidence-based care and creating meaningful outcomes for the clients it serves.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
