Franklin Roemer, CEO and co-founder of Seaside Healthcare announced the corporation’s expansion into the state of Texas, commenting, “The patient-centric philosophy and high level of care which DebLin Health has been recognized for over two decades of providing needed health services is a strong fit with the mission and values of Seaside Healthcare and our family of programs. Our high quality, community-based mental health service delivery approach now joins with DebLin Health to continue bringing needed, effective, and convenient behavioral health and substance use services for patients and their families in the great state of Texas.

Debra Jackson, founder and CEO of DebLin Health, will stay on in leading the company as it enters this new phase of growth in Texas. Jackson comments, “We are excited to have become the newest member of the Seaside organization and look forward to a future of providing our broad range of behavioral health treatment and resiliency and recovery services to those persons living with the challenges of mental illness in Texas and whom we have served for over two decades.”

Serving the Texas markets of Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin as well as surrounding communities, DebLin Health offers outpatient services for children, adolescents, and adults including school based counseling, in-home psychotherapy, chemical dependency treatment services, psychosocial rehab programs, office based outpatient therapy, among others in an effort to help people return to lead a life as full, healthy, and as quickly as possible.

As the newest member of the growing Seaside Healthcare family, DebLin Health will now share in Seaside’s focus of providing evidence-based treatment services that are compliant with all state and national regulations for mental healthcare delivery.

As a large deliverer of mental health services in Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina, and now Texas, Seaside has the resources to continue meeting the needs of the people it serves across its growing network of providers.

Roemer commented on the expanding service network of the Seaside Healthcare family, “Seaside Healthcare’s strong model for patient first care as first developed in Louisiana then expanded into North Carolina and Georgia will serve as the foundation for our entrance into the state of Texas as we move to help even more people in their own communities.
