CASE ALLEGATIONS: Acadia Healthcare provides behavioral healthcare services.

The Acadia Healthcare class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Acadia Healthcare's business model centered on holding vulnerable people against their will in Acadia Healthcare's facilities, including in cases where it was not medically necessary to do so; (ii) while in Acadia Healthcare facilities, many patients were subjected to abuse; and (iii) Acadia Healthcare deceived insurance providers into paying for patients to stay in Acadia Healthcare's facilities when it was not medically necessary.

The Acadia Healthcare class action lawsuit further alleges that on September 1, 2024, The New York Times published an article entitled "How a Leading Chain of Psychiatric Hospitals Traps Patients," which revealed that The New York Times's "investigation found that some of that success was built on a disturbing practice: Acadia has lured patients into its facilities and held them against their will, even when detaining them was not medically necessary." On this news, the price of Acadia Healthcare stock fell more than 4%, according to the complaint.

Then, on September 27, 2024, the Acadia Healthcare class action lawsuit further alleges that Acadia Healthcare revealed that "[o]n September 24, 2024, Acadia Healthcare . . . received a voluntary request for information from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York as well as a grand jury subpoena from the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri (W.D.Mo.) related to its admissions, length of stay and billing practices," further disclosing that "Acadia anticipates receiving similar document requests from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may receive additional document requests from other government agencies." On this news, the price of Acadia Healthcare stock fell more than 16%, according to the Acadia Healthcare class action lawsuit.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Acadia Healthcare publicly traded securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Acadia Healthcare class action lawsuit.
