FRANKLIN, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 2, 2015-- Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACHC) today announced that it has completed three acquisitions in the United Kingdom, bringing a total of six inpatient behavioral health facilities with 149 beds to Partnerships in Care (PiC), the Company’s U.K. operation.

These latest acquisitions demonstrate the ongoing potential we have to expand geographically in the U.K. and through the expansion of our services as we consolidate care pathways. We will continue to evaluate additional acquisition opportunities in the U.K. and grow organically within our existing facilities by, among other things, adding new beds to meet rising demand for our services. We welcome the excellent teams from these facilities to Acadia, and we are committed to helping them continue providing quality care to their patients and their patients’ families.”
