Acadia Healthcare Class Action Lawsuit: Research Your Legal Rights Before Deadline
In the wake of recent allegations against Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NasdaqGS ACHC), investors are urged to pay attention to their rights concerning a potential class action lawsuit. The law firm Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF), led by former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr., has alerted those who incurred losses exceeding $100,000 to the deadline for filing lead plaintiff applications, due by December 16, 2024. This alert comes amid claims that Acadia's executives failed to disclose vital information during the class period that lasted from February 28, 2020, to October 18, 2024.
According to recent disclosures, Acadia has been under scrutiny following requests for information from the U.S. Attorney's Office as well as a grand jury subpoena regarding its admissions, billing practices, and patient discharge methods. The company's transparency—or lack thereof—has come into question, and subsequent reports depict severe consequences for shareholders. For instance, on September 27, 2024, Acadia's stock experienced a significant plunge by $12.38 (16.36%) following the announcement of these investigations.
Compounding these issues, a report published by The New York Times on October 18, 2024, revealed further allegations about Acadia Healthcare's practices, leading to another considerable drop in share price (a decline of $7.29 or 12.28%). Such steep declines reflect the potentially far-reaching implications for investors, making the forthcoming deadline critical.
The lawsuit, titled Kachrodia v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (No. 24-cv-01238), is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. Affected investors are encouraged to reach out to KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn for a free consultation to discuss their legal options. The firm operates with the mission of safeguarding the rights of investors, focusing on recoveries from corporate fraud.

Failing to do so may result in a missed opportunity to reclaim financial losses sustained during this challenging period for Acadia Healthcare.
