According to SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 19.7% of Veterans battled a mental illness in 2020. Today, National Hire a Veteran Day, we want to highlight Acadia’s own William Reynolds, PA-C (Psychiatry CAQ), who is not only a Veteran, but is doing his part to help drive quality, specialized, effective care for this critical population at Sierra Tucson.
About us
Headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, Acadia Healthcare was established in January 2005 to develop and operate a network of behavioral health facilities across the country. Acadia Healthcare’s mission is to create a world-class organization that sets the standard of excellence in the treatment of specialty behavioral health and addiction disorders. Acadia’s management style and philosophy is one of collaboration and flexibility as we create an energetic and team-oriented service delivery system. Our organization values input from employees, physicians, and all strategic alliances. As evidenced in our mission statement, Acadia Healthcare’s mission is to create behavioral health centers where people receive care that enables them to regain hope in a supportive, caring environment. We want Acadia to be synonymous with excellent care, phenomenal customer service and an unparalleled commitment to our patients, staff, physicians, and community. As a leading provider of behavioral healthcare services in the United States and Puerto Rico, Acadia Healthcare operates 253 treatment facilities across 39 states. Our network of treatment facilities offers multiple levels of care for various behavioral health and substance use disorders. At Acadia, our primary goal is to meet patients where they’re at in their treatment process. We do this by providing a multitude of levels of care, including detoxification, residential treatment for addiction, residential treatment for dual diagnosis, acute psychiatric inpatient hospitalization, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services, and an array of outpatient programming options, ranging from partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) to traditional outpatient services. Our network of treatment facilities creates greater access to care, reduces the stigma associated with mental illness and addiction, and offers those in our communities a safe environment in which to receive the treatment they need.

According to the CDC, in 2022 suicide was the 3rd leading cause of death in youth aged 10-24. Acadia Healthcare is proud to partner with The Jason Foundation, Inc. to help raise awareness and provide education around the “Silent Epidemic."
Twenty-seven (27) years ago on July 16, 1997, our family lost a son, brother, and Jason’s friends lost a buddy, and the world lost another young light gone too soon due to a terrible “Silent Epidemic” we call suicide. Jason was 16 years old. In 27 years, our nation has come a long way with research and resources, but suicide remains a leading cause of death for our youth, young adults, and middle-aged individuals. For our youth ages 10-24, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death and for the extended age group that includes young adults/middle aged adults (10-45) suicide is the 2nd leading cause. Too many parents, teachers, pastors, and communities are waiting until this tragedy touches them before they act and mobilize prevention efforts. Four out of Five individuals will demonstrate “warning signs” either verbally or behaviorally (or both) before a suicide attempt. If we know what to look for and how to appropriately respond, we can stop this tragedy! Please take action to educate yourself, family, schools, churches, and communities BEFORE we lose another to this monster of suicide. You can visit our website for a lot of information, tools, resources, and links to many good resources from other organizations in our nation, www.jasonfoundation.com . My family wants to thank all the people, organizations, and businesses who have supported The Jason Foundation’s mission and efforts. Your support and prayers have helped us reach millions…made lives better and save lives too. Please keep our efforts and mission in your prayers and say a prayer for those who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide…let them find help and let it be us…their family, friends, teachers, pastors, and communities.

According to the CDC, while deaths due to overdoses have been climbing since 2018, they declined in 2023. Part of this decline can be attributed to drugs like Narcan which reverse overdoses - but fast access to these drugs is key. That’s why we’re proud to share the work our Cedar Rapids Comprehensive Treatment Center is doing to make Narcan more accessible in their community by installing life-saving vending machines. Learn more about this innovative Comprehensive Treatment Centers initiative here.

On Independence Day, we at Acadia want to take a moment to thank those who defend the freedom we hold dear. Our protectors bravely and selflessly give so much to our country and communities, despite the toll it may take on their physical and behavioral health. This Fourth of July, we are proud to support all those who serve and recognize the impact their selflessness has on families and communities nationwide. Thank you.

Minorities face unique challenges when it comes to mental health, which often leads to a lack of treatment. According to SAMHSA's 2022 report, while 66% of White adults with a mental health diagnosis received care, only about 50% of Hispanic and Black adults did. During Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to draw attention to this disparity and our collective efforts to address it. Learn about ways to champion mental health equity with this resource from NAMI.

Commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of the resilience and perseverance of the Black American community. Importantly as we celebrate Freedom Day, we also reflect on the progress that must continue to create a society that is more equal and more free. Acadia is committed to doing our part to honor the lived experiences of the Black community and – through partnerships like The Jason Foundation, Inc. and NAMI – continues to work toward greater mental and behavioral health equity for all those in need.

In behavioral healthcare, it’s important to think of the unique needs of Veterans, one of our country’s most vulnerable populations. Today, on the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, we want to emphasize how important it is for Veterans to have access to clinically excellent behavioral healthcare services. Our Military & Family Support team supports and advocates for thousands of Veterans by connecting them with specialized, high-quality care. This recent article from Behavioral Health Business features Meridith Johnson, MBA, a member of that team: https://lnkd.in/et8j5BjM
