	Description of Business
	Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and operates inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral healthcare services to serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States. At September 30, 2013, the Company operated 47 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 3,900 licensed beds in 21 states and Puerto Rico.
	Basis of Presentation
	The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies and C-corporations, each of which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	2. Earnings Per Share
	Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each period and dilutive stock options, unvested shares and warrants, to the extent such securities have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands except per share amounts):
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
		September 30,						September 30,

	Net income	$	0.29		$	0.15		$	0.6		$	0.43
	Approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock option awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Approximately 0.7 million and 0.4 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock option awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

	Summary of Acquisitions
	The Company selectively seeks opportunities to expand and diversify its base of operations by acquiring additional facilities. The majority of the goodwill associated with the acquisitions completed in 2013 and 2012 is deductible for federal income tax purposes. The fair values assigned to certain assets and liabilities assumed by the Company have been estimated on a preliminary basis and are subject to change as new facts and circumstances emerge that were present at the date of acquisition. Specifically, the Company is further assessing the valuation of certain tax matters as well as certain receivables and assumed liabilities of The Refuge, the UMC Facilities, Delta, Greenleaf, BCA, AmiCare and Park Royal and the valuation of real property and intangible assets of The Refuge. The Company expects to finalize its analyses as the necessary information becomes available to complete the measurement process. Once finalized, the Company will adjust the application of the acquisition method of accounting to reflect its final valuations.

The Company incurred and capitalized $0.6 million and $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to costs to obtain certificates of need.
	The non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements. The Timberline Knolls and BCA non-compete agreements have a one-year term, and the Haven Facilities and AmiCare non-compete agreements have a three-year term. The contract intangible is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated five-year term of the related contract.
	Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is $0.8 million, $0.6 million, $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $0, respectively. The Company’s licenses and accreditations, trade names and certificate of need intangible assets have indefinite lives and are, therefore, not subject to amortization.

	Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility
	The Company entered into the senior secured credit facility, administered by Bank of America, N.A., on April 1, 2011 (“Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility initially included $135.0 million of term loans and a revolving line of credit of $30.0 million.
	On March 1, 2012, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility to provide an incremental $25.0 million of term loans and increase the revolving line of credit by $45.0 million, from $30.0 million to $75.0 million. The Company used the incremental term loans of $25.0 million and a $5.0 million borrowing under the revolving line of credit to partially fund the acquisition of the Haven Facilities on March 1, 2012.
	On December 31, 2012, the Company amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility”), to provide a revolving line of credit of $100.0 million and term loans of $300.0 million, which resulted in debt proceeds of $151.1 million. The Company used $151.1 million of the term loans partially to fund the acquisition of BCA and AmiCare on December 31, 2012.
	On March 11, 2013, the Company entered into a Consent and First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility. The First Amendment modified the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to permit the add-back for financial covenant purposes of certain fees and expenses related to the partial redemption of the Company’s 12.875% Senior Notes on March 12, 2013. In addition, the First Amendment amended the definitions of Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio to permit the Company to test indebtedness on a basis net of cash and cash equivalents for financial covenant purposes.
	On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility. The Second Amendment modified certain of the restrictive covenants contained therein to permit the Company to increase the amount of miscellaneous investments it may make, as well as to permit the Company to incur increased amounts of purchase money indebtedness in order to finance certain long-term capital leases.
	On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility. The Third Amendment modified certain of the restrictive covenants contained therein to permit the incurrence by the Company of increased amounts of miscellaneous types of liens and indebtedness to facilitate its consummation of the acquisition of Longleaf.
	The Company had $80.1 million of availability under the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2013. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing. The amended term loans require quarterly principal payments of $1.9 million for September 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013, $3.8 million for March 31, 2014 to December 31, 2014, $5.6 million for March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2015, $7.5 million for March 31, 2016 to December 31, 2016, and $9.4 million for March 31, 2017 to September 30, 2017, with the remaining principal balance due on the maturity date of December 31, 2017. The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility also provides for a $50.0 million incremental credit facility, subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing.
	Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (other than Park Royal) and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than Park Royal). Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate tied to the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (defined as consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility). The Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility) for borrowings under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility was 3.25% for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility) and 2.25% for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility) at September 30, 2013. Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility) (based upon the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility) prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As of September 30, 2013, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bore interest at a rate of 3.25%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.5% for undrawn amounts for the period from December 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013.
	The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio. The Company may be required to pay all of its indebtedness immediately if it defaults on any of the numerous financial or other restrictive covenants contained in any of its material debt agreements. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.
	12.875% Senior Notes due 2018
	On November 1, 2011, the Company issued $150.0 million of 12.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “12.875% Senior Notes”) at 98.323% of the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, a discount of $2.5 million. The notes bear interest at a rate of 12.875% per annum. The Company pays interest on the notes semi-annually, in arrears, on November 1 and May 1 of each year.
	The indenture governing the 12.875% Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on the Company’s equity interests or redeem, repurchase or retire the Company’s equity interests or subordinated debt; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make certain investments; (v) incur certain liens; (vi) restrict the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company; (vii) engage in certain transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and (viii) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and the Company, as the parent issuer of the 12.875% Senior Notes, has no independent assets or operations.
	On March 12, 2013, the Company redeemed $52.5 million of the 12.875% Senior Notes using a portion of the net proceeds of its December 2012 equity offering pursuant to the provision in the indenture permitting an optional redemption with equity proceeds of up to 35% of the principal amount of 12.875% Senior Notes. The 12.875% Senior Notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 112.875% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date in accordance with the provisions of the indenture governing the 12.875% Senior Notes. As part of the redemption of 35% of the 12.875% Senior Notes, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment charge of $9.4 million, including the premium and write-off of deferred financing costs, which was recorded in debt extinguishment costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	6.125% Senior Notes due 2021
	On March 12, 2013, the Company issued $150.0 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “6.125% Senior Notes”). The 6.125% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2021 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2013.
	The indenture governing the 6.125% Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or investments; (ii) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (v) create restrictions on dividends or other payments by the restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of the Company’s assets; and (vii) create liens on assets.
	The 6.125% Senior Notes issued by the Company are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (other than Park Royal), all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several and the Company, as the parent issuer of the 6.125% Senior Notes, has no independent assets or operations.
	The Company may redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to March 15, 2016, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 6.125% Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and plus an applicable premium. The Company may redeem the 6.125% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, on or after March 15, 2016, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 6.125% Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. At any time on or before March 15, 2016, the Company may elect to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.125% Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 106.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings.
	9.0% and 9.5% Revenue Bonds
	On November 11, 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Park Royal, the Company assumed debt of $23.0 million. The fair market value of the debt assumed was $25.6 million and resulted in a debt premium balance being recorded as of the acquisition date. The debt consisted of $7.5 million and $15.5 million of Lee County (Florida) Industrial Development Authority Healthcare Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 with stated interest rates of 9.0% and 9.5% (“9.0% and 9.5% Revenue Bonds”), respectively. The 9.0% bonds in the amount of $7.5 million have a maturity date of December 1, 2030 and require yearly principal payments beginning in 2013. The 9.5% bonds in the amount of $15.5 million have a maturity date of December 1, 2040 and require yearly principal payments beginning in 2031. The principal payments establish a bond sinking fund to be held with the trustee and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amounts of the 9.0% and 9.5% Revenue Bonds on their respective maturity dates. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $2.2 million was recorded within other assets on the balance sheet related to the debt service reserve fund requirements. The yearly principal payments, which establish a bond sinking fund, will increase the debt service reserve fund requirements. The bond premium amount of $2.6 million is amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the life of the revenue bonds using the effective interest method.

Equity-Based Compensation	9. Equity-Based Compensation
	The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, to certain officers, employees and non-employee directors under the Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). As of September 30, 2013, a maximum of 4,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were authorized for issuance as stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units or other share-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan. Stock options may be granted for terms of up to ten years. The Company recognizes expense on all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. Grants to employees generally vest in annual increments of 25% each year, commencing one year after the date of grant. The exercise prices of stock options are equal to the most recent closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
	The Company recognized $1.3 million and $3.7 million in equity-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.7 million in equity-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. On April 30, 2013, certain non-employee directors affiliated with Waud Capital Partners, L.L.C. resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the Company’s efforts to comply with NASDAQ’s board independence requirements. The Company recorded incremental equity-based compensation expense of $0.6 million related to the vesting of 20,090 shares of restricted stock that would have been forfeited had the awards not been modified to accelerate vesting.
	As of September 30, 2013, there was $15.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.6 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
	As of September 30, 2013, there were 3,750 warrants outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $14.00. The weighted average grant date fair value of unvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2013 was $23.63. The Company recognized a deferred income tax benefit of $0.6 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, related to equity-based compensation expense. The actual tax benefit realized from stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. No tax benefits were recognized or realized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

	The grant-date fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the grant-date fair value of options and the assumptions used to develop the fair value estimates for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012:
		September 30,			December 31,
		2013			2012
	Weighted average grant-date fair value of options	$	11.32		$	6.93
	Risk-free interest rate		1	%		1.2	%
	Expected volatility		40	%		42	%
	Expected life (in years)		5.5			6.3
	The Company’s estimate of expected volatility for stock options is based upon the volatility of guideline companies given the lack of sufficient historical trading experience of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is the approximate yield on United States Treasury Strips having a life equal to the expected option life on the date of grant. The expected life is an estimate of the number of years an option will be held before it is exercised.

	The provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflects effective tax rates of 34.7% and 37.4%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects effective tax rates of 36.1% and 36.8%, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to the filing of the 2012 calendar year tax returns as well as certain state tax planning initiatives. The increase in the tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to the impact of additional state taxes associated with the Company’s expansions and acquisitions.

	The Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility, 12.875% Senior Notes, 6.125% Senior Notes and 9.0% and 9.5% Revenue Bonds were categorized as Level 2 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values were based on trading activity among the Company’s lenders and the average bid and ask price as determined using published rates.
	The fair value of the contingent consideration liability at September 30, 2013 was categorized as Level 3 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration liability was valued using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the purchase agreements and utilized assumptions with regard to future earnings, probabilities of achieving such future earnings and a discount rate. Significant increases with respect to assumptions as to future earnings and probabilities of achieving such future earnings would result in higher fair value measurement while an increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company changed its projections of the timing of future payments. This change resulted in a $0.4 million increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, which was recorded in transaction-related expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 states an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect ASU 2013-11 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Description of Business	Description of Business
	Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and operates inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential treatment centers, group homes, substance abuse facilities and facilities providing outpatient behavioral healthcare services to serve the behavioral health and recovery needs of communities throughout the United States. At September 30, 2013, the Company operated 47 behavioral healthcare facilities with approximately 3,900 licensed beds in 21 states and Puerto Rico.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The business of the Company is conducted through limited liability companies and C-corporations, each of which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations have been included. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 and interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. The information contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year presentation.
Income Taxes	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 states an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect ASU 2013-11 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
