	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, the United Kingdom and Puerto Rico. At December 31, 2014, the Company operated 78 behavioral healthcare facilities with over 5,800 beds in 24 states, the United Kingdom and Puerto Rico. On February 11, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of CRC Health Group, Inc. (“CRC”) for total consideration of approximately $1.3 billion. CRC is a leading provider of treatment services related to substance abuse and other addiction and behavioral disorders. At December 31, 2014, CRC operated 35 inpatient facilities with over 2,400 beds and 81 comprehensive treatment centers located in 30 states.
	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”). 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. The majority of the Company’s expenses are “cost of revenue” items. Costs that could be classified as general and administrative expenses include the Company’s corporate office costs, which were $36.9 million, $29.0 million and $21.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company mitigates any risks by depositing cash and investing in cash equivalents with major financial institutions.
	Revenue and Accounts Receivable
	Revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment. The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; (iv) NHS in the United Kingdom; and (v) individual patients and clients. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided at established billing rates less contractual adjustments based on amounts reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other third-party payors at contractually determined rates.

	The following table presents revenue by payor type as a percentage of revenue before provision for doubtful accounts:


			Year Ended December 31,
			2014				2013			2012
	Commercial			23	%			24.9	%		20.1	%
	Medicare			19.4				21.5			11.8
	Medicaid			38.3				48			63.6
	NHS			14.5				—			—
	Self-Pay			2.5				3.4			2.5
	Other			2.3				2.2			2

	Revenue			100	%			100	%		100	%

	On a combined basis, revenue related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs were 58%, 70% and 75% of all revenue before provision for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s concentration of credit risk from other payors is reduced by the large number of payors and their geographic dispersion. The Company generated approximately 15% and 12% of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 from facilities located in the United Kingdom and Arkansas, respectively, and approximately 17% and 8% of its revenue from facilities located in Arkansas and Mississippi for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Allowance for Contractual Discounts
	The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.
	Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s cost report receivables were $1.9 million at December 31, 2014 and were included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s cost report liabilities were $0.8 million at December 31, 2013 and were included in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that these receivables and liabilities are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount. The net adjustments to estimated cost report settlements resulted in increases to revenue of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Management believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company’s ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from third party payors is critical to its operating performance and cash flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient receivables relates to uninsured patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains outstanding. The Company estimates uncollectible accounts and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to adjust accounts receivable to estimated net realizable value. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the accounts, historical collection experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible based on the Company’s policies are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Significant changes in payor mix or business office operations could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

	A summary of activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):


			Balance at				Additions			Accounts			Balance at
			Beginning of				Charged to Costs			Written Off, Net			End of
			Period				and Expenses			of Recoveries			Period
	Year ended December 31, 2012		$	2,424			$	6,389		$	(1,329	)	$	7,484
	Year ended December 31, 2013			7,484				21,701			(10,840	)		18,345
	Year ended December 31, 2014			18,345				26,183			(22,079	)		22,449
	Charity Care
	The Company provides care without charge to patients who are financially unable to pay for the healthcare services they receive based on Company policies and federal and state poverty thresholds. The costs of providing charity care services were $2.5 million, $2.6 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The estimated cost of charity care services was determined using a ratio of cost to gross charges determined from our most recently filed Medicare cost reports and applying that ratio to the gross charges associated with providing charity care for the period.
	Insurance
	The Company is subject to medical malpractice and other lawsuits due to the nature of the services the Company provides. The Company’s operations have professional and general liability insurance for claims in excess of a $250,000 deductible with an insured excess limit of $36 million. The reserve for professional and general liability risks was estimated based on historical claims, demographic factors, industry trends, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions calculated by an independent third-party actuary. The estimated accrual for professional and general liabilities could be significantly affected should current and future occurrences differ from historical claim trends and expectations. While claims are monitored closely when estimating professional and general liability accruals, the complexity of the claims and wide range of potential outcomes often hampers timely adjustments to the assumptions used in these estimates. The professional and general liability reserve was $16.3 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $4.2 million was included in other accrued liabilities and $12.1 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The professional and general liability reserve was $14.0 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $4.1 million was included in other accrued liabilities and $9.9 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company estimates receivables for the portion of professional and general liability reserves that are recoverable under the Company’s insurance policies based on an independent actuarial evaluation. Such receivable was $12.0 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $3.5 million was included in other current assets and $8.5 million was included in other assets, and such receivable was $11.2 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $3.4 million was included in other current assets and $7.8 million was included in other assets.
	The Company’s statutory workers’ compensation program is fully insured with a $500,000 deductible per accident. The workers’ compensation liability was $8.4 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $4.8 million was included in accrued salaries and benefits and $3.6 million was included in other long-term liabilities, and such liability was $6.2 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $4.1 million was included in accrued salaries and benefits and $2.1 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The reserve for workers compensation claims was based upon independent actuarial estimates of future amounts that will be paid to claimants. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for workers’ compensation and professional and general liability risk exposures.
	Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which typically range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, three to seven years for equipment and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements. When assets are sold or retired, the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the period of sale or retirement. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was $32.1 million, $16.3 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the asset will not be recoverable, as determined based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the operating asset over the remaining useful lives, the carrying value of the asset will be reduced to its estimated fair value. Fair value estimates are based on independent appraisals, market values of comparable assets or internal evaluations of future net cash flows.

	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
	The Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of licenses and accreditations and certificates of need intangible assets that are not amortized, are evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. The Company has two operating segments, U.S. Facilities and U.K. Facilities, for segment reporting purposes, each of which represents a reporting unit for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment test. Potential impairment is noted for a reporting unit if its carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. For a reporting unit with potential impairment of goodwill, the Company determines the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. The Company’s annual impairment tests of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles in 2014, 2013 and 2012 resulted in no impairment charges.

Stock Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine grant-date fair value for equity awards and uses straight-line amortization of share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the respective awards.

Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each period and dilutive stock options, nonvested shares and warrants, to the extent such securities have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The amount of deferred taxes on these temporary differences is determined using the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, as applicable, based on tax rates and laws in the respective tax jurisdiction enacted as of the balance sheet date.
The Company reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, applicable tax strategies, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-08 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not expect ASU 2014-08 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09’s core principal is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility

	The Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) on April 1, 2011. On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility”).

	On February 13, 2014, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, to increase the size of the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility and extend the maturity date thereof, which resulted in the Company having a revolving line of credit of up to $300.0 million and term loans of $300.0 million. The Fourth Amendment also reduced the interest rates applicable to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility and provided increased flexibility to the Company in terms of the financial and other restrictive covenants. The Fourth Amendment also provides for a $150.0 million incremental credit facility, with the potential for unlimited additional incremental amounts, provided the Company meets certain financial ratios, in each case subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing.

	On June 16, 2014, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment specifically permitted the Company’s acquisition of Partnerships in Care, gave the Company the ability to incur a tranche of term loan B debt in the future through its incremental credit facility, and modified certain of the restrictive covenants on miscellaneous investments and incurrence of miscellaneous liens. The restrictive covenants on investments in joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries were also amended such that the Company may now invest, in any given fiscal year, up to five percent (5%) of its total assets in both joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries, respectively; provided that the aggregate amount of investments in both joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries, respectively, may not exceed ten percent (10%) of its total assets over the life of the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility; provided further that the aggregate amount of investments made in both joint ventures and foreign subsidiaries collectively pursuant to the foregoing may not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of its total assets. Finally, the Fifth Amendment provided increased flexibility to the Company in terms of its financial covenants.

	On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, we incurred $235.0 million of additional term loans. A portion of the additional term loan advance was used to prepay our outstanding revolving loans, and a portion of the additional term loan advance is being held as cash on the consolidated balance sheet. The Sixth Amendment also specifically permitted the acquisition of CRC. In connection with the acquisition of CRC, the Sixth Amendment (i) imposed a temporary reserve on the Company’s revolving credit facility in the amount of $110.0 million in order to preserve such reserved amounts for later borrowings to partially fund the consideration for the acquisition of CRC (subject to limited conditionality provisions) (the reserve is no longer in effect due to the acquisition of CRC), (ii) permitted the incurrence of an additional incremental term loan facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement partially to fund the consideration for the acquisition of CRC (subject to limited conditionality provisions) and (iii) permitted the issuance of additional senior unsecured indebtedness or senior unsecured bridge indebtedness partially to fund the consideration for the acquisition of CRC.

	On February 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Seventh Amendment added Citibank, N.A. as an “L/C Issuer” under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in order to permit the rollover of CRC’s existing letters of credit into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and increased both the Company’s Letter of Credit Sublimit and Swing Line Sublimit to $20.0 million.



	On February 11, 2015, the Company entered into a First Incremental Facility Amendment (the “First Incremental Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The First Incremental Amendment activated a new $500.0 million incremental Term Loan B facility (the “TLB Facility”) that was added to our Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility, subject to limited conditionality provisions. Borrowings under the TLB Facility were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of CRC.

	The Company had $299.6 million of availability under the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2014. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to customary conditions precedent to borrowing. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires quarterly term loan principal repayments of our outstanding term loan A loans (“TLA Facility”) of $6.7 million for March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2015, $10.0 million for March 31, 2016 to December 31, 2016, $13.4 million for March 31, 2017 to December 31, 2017, and $16.7 million for March 31, 2018 to December 31, 2018, with the remaining principal balance of the TLA Facility due on the maturity date of February 13, 2019. On December 15, 2014, prior to the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company prepaid the December 31, 2014 quarterly term loan principal payment of $1.9 million. The Company is required to repay the TLB Facility in equal quarterly installments of $1.3 million on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, with the outstanding principal balance of the TLB Facility due on February 11, 2022.

	Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiaries. Borrowings with respect to the TLA Facility and the Company’s revolving credit facility (collectively, “Pro Rata Facilities”) under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate tied to Acadia’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (defined as consolidated funded debt net of up to $40.0 million of unrestricted and unencumbered cash to consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the Pro Rata Facilities was 2.75% for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and 1.75% for Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) at December 31, 2014. Eurodollar Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) (based upon the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) prior to commencement of the interest rate period). Base Rate Loans with respect to the Pro Rata Facilities bear interest at the Applicable Rate plus the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. As of December 31, 2014, the Pro Rata Facilities bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving line of credit. We paid a commitment fee of 0.50% for undrawn amounts for the period from January 1, 2013 through February 12, 2014 and 0.40% for undrawn amounts for the period from February 13, 2014 through the date of the Sixth Amendment. Borrowings under the Pro Rata Facilities mature on February 13, 2019.

	The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement 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 December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

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 year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:


		December 31, 2014				December 31, 2013

Weighted average grant-date fair value of options		$	17.14			$	11.62
Risk-free interest rate			1.7	%			1	%
Expected volatility			36	%			40	%
Expected life (in years)			5.5				5.5
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 Company’s continuing accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recognized interest and penalties relative to uncertain tax positions of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the period ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No interest or penalties were recognized relative to uncertain tax positions during the year ended December 31, 2012. It is possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit could change in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations and settlements with taxing authorities; however, management does not anticipate the change will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in federal and in many state and local jurisdictions as well as foreign jurisdictions. The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for calendar year 2011 through 2014. Additionally, any net operating losses that were generated in prior years and utilized in these years may also be subject to examination by the IRS. In foreign jurisdictions, the Company may be subject to examination for calendar years 2010 through 2014. Generally, for state tax purposes, the Company’s 2010 through 2014 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities. At the date of this report there were no audits or inquires that had progressed sufficiently to predict their ultimate outcome.

One of the Company’s Puerto Rico subsidiaries was granted a tax exemption for which a tax credit of up to 15% of eligible payroll expenses is available to offset up to 50% of the income taxes attributed to that entity. The tax exemption will expire on December 31, 2017.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as it is the Company’s intention to utilize those earnings in the foreign operations for an indefinite period of time. At December 31, 2014, undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $20.7 million. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these temporary differences is not practicable at this time as this could be significantly impacted by the source location and amount of the distribution, the underlying tax rate already paid on the earnings, foreign withholding taxes, and the opportunity to use foreign tax credits.

Derivatives	11. Derivatives
Derivatives	The Company entered into two foreign currency forward contracts in June 2014 in connection with the Partnerships in Care acquisition. The foreign currency forward contracts limited the economic risk of changes in the foreign exchange rate between US Dollars (“USD”) and British Pounds (“GBP”) associated with the payment of the purchase price in GBP on July 1, 2014. These foreign currency forward contracts did not meet the hedge accounting criteria under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As such, gains associated with changes in fair value of $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been recorded in the consolidated statements of income. The final fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts settled on July 1, 2014.

	The Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility, 12.875% Senior Notes, 6.125% Senior Notes, 5.125% 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 liabilities were categorized as Level 3 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration liabilities were 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 year ended December 31, 2014, the Company changed its projections of the timing of future payments for the Park Royal contingent consideration liability. This change resulted in a $0.5 million increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, which was recorded in transaction-related expenses in the consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid $5.0 million of the estimated $7.0 million Park Royal contingent consideration liability as a result of the facility achieving certain earnings targets. The Company may make an earn-out payment of up to $6.0 million, contingent upon achievement by McCallum of certain operating performance targets for the one-year period ending October 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company changed its probability of achieving future earnings for the McCallum contingent consideration liability. This change resulted in a $0.5 million decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, which was recorded in transaction-related expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

	-1	Segment EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, gain on foreign currency derivatives, transaction-related expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company uses Segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure the performance of the Company’s segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from Segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
	-2	Assets include property and equipment for the U.S. Facilities of $478.1 million, U.K. Facilities of $578.6 million and corporate and other of $13.0 million at December 31, 2014. Assets include property and equipment for the U.S. Facilities of $358.7 million and corporate and other of $11.4 million at December 31, 2013.

	Defined Contribution Plan
	The Company maintains a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its employees in the United States. The Company may, at its discretion, make contributions to the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company contributed $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to the 401(k) plan.
	Partnerships in Care Pension Plan
	As part of the acquisition of Partnerships in Care on July 1, 2014, the Company assumed a frozen contributory defined benefit retirement plan (“Partnerships in Care Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of the employees of Partnerships in Care and its subsidiaries prior to May 1, 2005. The benefits under the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan are primarily based on years of service and final average earnings.

	The Company accounts for the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan in accordance with ASC 715-30 “Compensation — Defined Benefit Plans”, (“ASC 715-30”). In accordance with ASC 715-30, the Company recognizes the unfunded liability of the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and unrecognized gains (losses) and prior service credits (costs) as changes in other comprehensive income (loss). The measurement date of the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan’s assets and liabilities coincides with the Company’s year-end. The Company’s pension benefit obligation is measured using actuarial calculations that incorporate discount rates, rate of compensation increases, when applicable, expected long-term returns on plan assets and consider expected age of retirement and mortality. Expected return on plan assets is determined by using the specific asset distribution at the measurement date.
	The Partnerships in Care Pension Plan pension liability was $7.6 million as of July 1, 2014. The following table summarizes the funded status of the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan based upon actuarial valuations prepared as of the most recent valuation date of December 31, 2014 (in thousands):


	Reconciliation of funded status:
	Projected benefit obligation	$	66,910
	Fair value of plan assets		57,356

	Funded status	$	9,554

	Pension liability adjustment		2,758
	Foreign currency translation loss		(710	)

	Pension liability at December 31, 2014	$	9,554

	A pension liability of $9.6 million is recorded within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The following assumptions were used to determine the plan benefit obligation:


	Discount rate		3.6	%
	Compensation increase rate		3.4	%
	Measurement date		December 31, 2014
	A summary of the components of net pension plan expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):


	Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	$	1,389
	Service cost on projected benefit obligation		545
	Expected return on assets		(1,205	)

	Total pension plan expense	$	729
	Assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension plan expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were as follows:


	Discount rate		3.6	%
	Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets		4.3	%
	The Company recognizes changes in the funded status of the pension plan as a direct increase or decrease to stockholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive income. The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2.8 million ($2.2 million net of taxes).

	The trustees of the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan are required to invest assets in the best interest of the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan’s members and also ensure liquid assets are available to make benefit payments as they become due. Performance of the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan’s assets are monitored quarterly, at a minimum, and asset allocations are adjusted as needed. The Partnerships in Care Pension Plan’s weighted-average asset allocations by asset category as of December 31, 2014 were as follows:


	Cash and cash equivalents		1.3	%
	United Kingdom government obligation		16.1	%
	Equity securities		43.6	%
	Debt securities		34.1	%
	Other		4.9	%
	As of December 31, 2014, the Partnerships in Care Pension Plan cash and cash equivalents were classified as Level 1 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values were based on utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The United Kingdom government obligations, equity securities, debt securities and other investments were classified as Level 2 in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Fair values were based on data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company mitigates any risks by depositing cash and investing in cash equivalents with major financial institutions.
Revenue and Accounts Receivable	Revenue and Accounts Receivable
	Revenue is primarily derived from services rendered to patients for inpatient psychiatric and substance abuse care, outpatient psychiatric care and adolescent residential treatment. The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our facilities: (i) state governments under their respective Medicaid and other programs; (ii) commercial insurers; (iii) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; (iv) NHS in the United Kingdom; and (v) individual patients and clients. Revenue is recorded in the period in which services are provided at established billing rates less contractual adjustments based on amounts reimbursable by Medicare or Medicaid under provisions of cost or prospective reimbursement formulas or amounts due from other third-party payors at contractually determined rates.

	The following table presents revenue by payor type as a percentage of revenue before provision for doubtful accounts:


		Year Ended December 31,
		2014			2013			2012
	Commercial		23	%		24.9	%		20.1	%
	Medicare		19.4			21.5			11.8
	Medicaid		38.3			48			63.6
	NHS		14.5			—			—
	Self-Pay		2.5			3.4			2.5
	Other		2.3			2.2			2

	Revenue		100	%		100	%		100	%

	On a combined basis, revenue related to the Medicare and Medicaid programs were 58%, 70% and 75% of all revenue before provision for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s concentration of credit risk from other payors is reduced by the large number of payors and their geographic dispersion. The Company generated approximately 15% and 12% of its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 from facilities located in the United Kingdom and Arkansas, respectively, and approximately 17% and 8% of its revenue from facilities located in Arkansas and Mississippi for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Allowance for Contractual Discounts	Allowance for Contractual Discounts
	The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The Medicare and Medicaid regulations and various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the allowance for contractual discounts on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.
	Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Final determination of amounts earned under the Medicare and Medicaid programs often occurs in subsequent years because of audits by such programs, rights of appeal and the application of numerous technical provisions. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s cost report receivables were $1.9 million at December 31, 2014 and were included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s cost report liabilities were $0.8 million at December 31, 2013 and were included in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that these receivables and liabilities are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount. The net adjustments to estimated cost report settlements resulted in increases to revenue of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Management believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and is not aware of any pending or threatened investigations involving allegations of wrongdoing. While no such regulatory inquiries have been made, compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation, as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company’s ability to collect outstanding patient receivables from third party payors is critical to its operating performance and cash flows. The primary collection risk with regard to patient receivables relates to uninsured patient accounts or patient accounts for which primary insurance has paid, but the portion owed by the patient remains outstanding. The Company estimates uncollectible accounts and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts in order to adjust accounts receivable to estimated net realizable value. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Company considers a number of factors, including the age of the accounts, historical collection experience, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible based on the Company’s policies are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Significant changes in payor mix or business office operations could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

	A summary of activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):


		Balance at			Additions			Accounts			Balance at
		Beginning of			Charged to Costs			Written Off, Net			End of
		Period			and Expenses			of Recoveries			Period
	Year ended December 31, 2012	$	2,424		$	6,389		$	(1,329	)	$	7,484
	Year ended December 31, 2013		7,484			21,701			(10,840	)		18,345
	Year ended December 31, 2014		18,345			26,183			(22,079	)		22,449
Charity Care	Charity Care
Charity Care	The Company provides care without charge to patients who are financially unable to pay for the healthcare services they receive based on Company policies and federal and state poverty thresholds. The costs of providing charity care services were $2.5 million, $2.6 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The estimated cost of charity care services was determined using a ratio of cost to gross charges determined from our most recently filed Medicare cost reports and applying that ratio to the gross charges associated with providing charity care for the period.
Insurance	Insurance
	The Company is subject to medical malpractice and other lawsuits due to the nature of the services the Company provides. The Company’s operations have professional and general liability insurance for claims in excess of a $250,000 deductible with an insured excess limit of $36 million. The reserve for professional and general liability risks was estimated based on historical claims, demographic factors, industry trends, severity factors, and other actuarial assumptions calculated by an independent third-party actuary. The estimated accrual for professional and general liabilities could be significantly affected should current and future occurrences differ from historical claim trends and expectations. While claims are monitored closely when estimating professional and general liability accruals, the complexity of the claims and wide range of potential outcomes often hampers timely adjustments to the assumptions used in these estimates. The professional and general liability reserve was $16.3 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $4.2 million was included in other accrued liabilities and $12.1 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The professional and general liability reserve was $14.0 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $4.1 million was included in other accrued liabilities and $9.9 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company estimates receivables for the portion of professional and general liability reserves that are recoverable under the Company’s insurance policies based on an independent actuarial evaluation. Such receivable was $12.0 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $3.5 million was included in other current assets and $8.5 million was included in other assets, and such receivable was $11.2 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $3.4 million was included in other current assets and $7.8 million was included in other assets.
	The Company’s statutory workers’ compensation program is fully insured with a $500,000 deductible per accident. The workers’ compensation liability was $8.4 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $4.8 million was included in accrued salaries and benefits and $3.6 million was included in other long-term liabilities, and such liability was $6.2 million as of December 31, 2013, of which $4.1 million was included in accrued salaries and benefits and $2.1 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The reserve for workers compensation claims was based upon independent actuarial estimates of future amounts that will be paid to claimants. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for workers’ compensation and professional and general liability risk exposures.
Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets	Property and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which typically range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, three to seven years for equipment and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements. When assets are sold or retired, the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the period of sale or retirement. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was $32.1 million, $16.3 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events, circumstances or operating results indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the asset will not be recoverable, as determined based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the operating asset over the remaining useful lives, the carrying value of the asset will be reduced to its estimated fair value. Fair value estimates are based on independent appraisals, market values of comparable assets or internal evaluations of future net cash flows.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	The Company’s goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of licenses and accreditations and certificates of need intangible assets that are not amortized, are evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. The Company has two operating segments, U.S. Facilities and U.K. Facilities, for segment reporting purposes, each of which represents a reporting unit for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment test. Potential impairment is noted for a reporting unit if its carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. For a reporting unit with potential impairment of goodwill, the Company determines the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded. The Company’s annual impairment tests of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles in 2014, 2013 and 2012 resulted in no impairment charges.

Debt issuance costs at December 31, 2014 were $20.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $9.5 million. Debt issuance costs at December 31, 2013 were $13.3 million, net of accumulated amortization of $6.1 million. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs, which is reported as interest expense, was $3.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Estimated amortization of debt issuance costs for the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 is $4.5 million, $4.6 million, $4.7 million, $4.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Stock Compensation	Stock Compensation
Stock Compensation	The Company measures and recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine grant-date fair value for equity awards and uses straight-line amortization of share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the respective awards.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share	Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each period and dilutive stock options, nonvested shares and warrants, to the extent such securities have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The amount of deferred taxes on these temporary differences is determined using the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, as applicable, based on tax rates and laws in the respective tax jurisdiction enacted as of the balance sheet date.
	The Company reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and establishes a valuation allowance based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, applicable tax strategies, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-08 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not expect ASU 2014-08 to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09’s core principal is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	-1	Segment EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, debt extinguishment costs, gain on foreign currency derivatives, transaction-related expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company uses Segment EBITDA as an analytical indicator to measure the performance of the Company’s segments and to develop strategic objectives and operating plans for those segments. Segment EBITDA is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the health care industry, and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. Segment EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and the items excluded from Segment EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because Segment EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, Segment EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
