What is Johnson Fistel investigating? On Sunday, September 1, 2024, The New York Times published an investigative report titled “How a Leading Chain of Psychiatric Hospitals Traps Patients.” The report highlighted that Acadia Healthcare, one of the largest psychiatric hospital chains in the U.S., saw a significant increase in revenue during the pandemic-driven mental health crisis. However, the investigation revealed troubling practices, including allegations that Acadia detained patients against their will without medical necessity. In at least 12 of the 19 states where Acadia operates, numerous patients, employees, and police officers reported these unlawful detentions to authorities. In some instances, judges had to intervene to secure the release of patients.

Following the publication of this report, Acadia Healthcare’s stock dropped by $3.72 per share, or 4.5%, closing at $78.21 on September 3, 2024.
