UKAT Group has acquired Bayberry Limited
May 2026 — UK Addiction Treatment (UKAT) Group, a leading UK provider of residential addiction, mental health and behavioral health treatment backed by Sullivan Street Partners, has acquired Bayberry Limited, a specialist mental health and wellbeing treatment provider. Joining UKAT enables Bayberry to preserve continuity of care for patients and referral partners, retain the strength of its clinical team and benefit from UKAT’s operational infrastructure, referral network and marketing channels. This partnership supports Bayberry’s next stage of development while preserving the qualities that differentiate its service offering.
UKAT operates a national network of Care Quality Commission (CQC)-regulated residential facilities, providing evidence-based treatment across addiction, mental health and long-term recovery.

Based in Warwickshire, UK, the company has established a strong reputation for discreet, high-quality care delivered in a calm and supportive environment.
