Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (ACHC) Securities Class Action:
The suit, filed in the Middle District of Tennessee, seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased Acadia Healthcare securities between February 28, 2020, and September 26, 2024.
According to the complaint, Acadia Healthcare has engaged in a pattern of detaining patients against their will, even when such detention was not medically necessary. The company is accused of using deceptive tactics to lure patients into its facilities and then holding them captive for financial gain, rather than for their medical treatment.
The lawsuit alleges that Acadia Healthcare's executives were aware of these practices and intentionally misled investors about the company's business model and financial prospects.
The complaint cites a recent investigation by The New York Times that revealed widespread allegations of patient abuse and illegal detention at Acadia Healthcare facilities across the country.
Following the publication of The New York Times investigation on September 1, 2024, the company's stock price plummeted by 4.5%. The decline accelerated on September 27, 2024, when Acadia Healthcare disclosed that it was under investigation by federal authorities. The stock price dropped by a further 16.36% on that day, reflecting investor concerns about the potential legal and financial consequences of the company's misconduct.
Shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the alleged claims. "If proven to be true, Acadia Healthcare's alleged conduct is a gross violation of patient rights and a betrayal of investor trust," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.
