Convalo Health International Announces Opening of San Diego Outpatient Facility; Launch of San Diego Pod-4th Pod Out of Eight Planned in 2016


LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - April 4, 2016) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Convalo Health International, Corp. (Convalo) (TSX VENTURE:CXV), a company providing addiction recovery services in the US, announced it has opened an outpatient behavioral health and addiction recovery center (known as an IOP center) in San Diego, California. Located in the heart of Hillcrest, the center boasts over 6,000 square feet of space, which can accommodate more than 60 patients. The center features several client lounges, including a kitchen and several group rooms that offer a comfortable, boutique vibe.

Along with opening the San Diego IOP facility, Convalo is in the process of securing residential, detox and behavioral health facilities that can house up to 18 patients. The population of the San Diego metropolitan area exceeds 3 million, and San Diego is also a desirable location for those seeking treatment away from home. As with all pods, Convalo expects to invest approximately $1,000,000 in the pod during the launch period, which will come from existing cash on the balance sheet. Each mature pod is expected to generate $10 million to $15 million in annual revenue.

"We are pleased to be serving the San Diego community," said Stampp Corbin, CEO of Convalo. "We are investing heavily in local marketing and awareness to launch our center and expect the behavioral health detox facility accompanying the IOP to be signed on shortly. We anticipate being at optimal capacity within a year in San Diego and will continue to update the market of the significant milestones as we open pods across the United States."

About Convalo

Convalo serves the addiction rehabilitation market and is led by seasoned management with experience in US healthcare.

BLVD offers patients access to a wide range of services, including treatment of addictive and co-occurring disorders, essential to the recovery process. In conjunction with the 12-Step approach, BLVD also offers supplemental insurance-reimbursed services catering to a variety of communities: gender specific, creatively-oriented, meditation/mindfulness, trauma and LGBT affirmative.
