Have You or a Loved One Been Unlawfully Detained by Acadia Healthcare? We Can Help.
Unlawful detention in psychiatric facilities is a serious issue, and Acadia Healthcare, one of the largest chains of psychiatric hospitals in the United States, has come under intense scrutiny for its practices. If you or someone you know in New York has been wrongfully detained at an Acadia Healthcare facility, you may have the right to legal action.
Understanding Unlawful Detention by Acadia Healthcare
The COVID-19 pandemic increased the demand for mental health services, and Acadia Healthcare saw a corresponding rise in revenue. However, this growth has been overshadowed by reports of unethical practices. Investigations have revealed that Acadia has unlawfully detained patients who did not meet the legal requirements for involuntary commitment. In many cases, these individuals were kept in facilities until their insurance coverage ran out, often in substandard conditions without necessary medical care or therapy.
These actions are not only unethical but also illegal under both New York state and federal laws. Patients have reported being transferred from emergency rooms to Acadia facilities under the guise of receiving essential care, only to be detained against their will. Such practices violate legal standards and infringe upon the civil rights of patients.
