Acadia Healthcare Lawsuit Attorneys
Were You Wrongfully Committed or Detained by Acadia?
According to an investigation by The New York Times, Acadia Healthcare and its subsidiaries, including many residential treatment facilities, have been wrongfully detaining and fraudulently committing patients to facilities against their will to get larger insurance payments. Most patients did not need any treatment and are kept far longer than necessary, and some have even alleged that they were physically or sexually abused by healthcare staff members. Now, patients across the country are speaking up and using legal action to demand justice.
If you or a loved one were committed to an Acadia Healthcare facility or subsidiary facility for what you believe to be fraudulent reasons, our attorneys from Hilliard Law want to hear from you. Based on your experience, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit against Acadia Healthcare, as many others have already begun to do. We also want to hear from you if you were abused at an Acadia Healthcare facility, which could be grounds for a lawsuit, regardless of the length of your stay.

Injuries Caused by Acadia Healthcare
