Construction is underway—and officials expect it to wrap in December—on an expansion at the Montgomery County Mental Health Treatment Facility in Conroe that will add 100 inpatient beds and increase the site’s capacity for competency-restoration treatment.
Montgomery County Commissioners have already taken additional steps to keep the project moving by allocating funds for commissioning services.

The overview: Officials and community leaders broke ground Aug. 18 on an addition that will expand the facility, which currently operates 100 beds, according to Recovery Solutions, the behavioral health provider that manages the hospital through a public-private partnership with the county and the state. 

The expansion will focus on serving justice-involved individuals a court has found incompetent to stand trial, Recovery Solutions Hospital Administrator Jeff Rone said. 

Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, the project’s contractor, describes the work as a 51,085-square-foot expansion designed to accommodate the new beds. The firm also said the added space will expand the hospital’s reach from about 3,300 patients from 79 counties to 4,300 patients from 140 counties.
