("Civitas"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is the leading provider of home- and community-based health and human services to must-serve individuals with a range of intellectual, developmental, behavioral and/or medically complex disabilities and challenges. Since the Company’s founding in 1980, the Company has evolved into a diversified national network providing an array of high-quality services and care in large, growing and highly-fragmented markets. The Company currently provides services to individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (“I/DD”), individuals with catastrophic injuries and illnesses, particularly acquired brain injury (“ABI”), youth with emotional, behavioral and/or medically complex challenges, or at-risk youth (“ARY”), and elders in need of day health services to support their independence, or adult day health (“ADH”). Since the Company’s founding in 1980, the Company’s operations have grown to 36 states. The Company provides residential services to approximately 11,800 clients and more than 18,600 clients receive periodic services from the Company in non-residential settings. The Company designs customized service plans to meet the individual needs of its clients, which it delivers in home- and community-based settings. Most of the Company’s service plans involve residential support, typically in small group homes, host home settings, or specialized community facilities, designed to improve an individual's quality of life and to promote independence and participation in community life. Other services offered include supported living, day and transitional programs, vocational services, case management, family-based and outpatient therapeutic services, post-acute treatment and neurorehabilitation, neurobehavioral rehabilitation and physical, occupational and speech therapies, among others. The Company’s customized service plans offer its clients as well as the payors of these services, an attractive, cost-effective alternative to health and human services provided in large, institutional settings.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 , which is on file with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company completed changes to its organizational structure that resulted from a change in how the Company manages its business, allocates resources and measures performance. As a result, the Company has revised its reportable segments to reflect how management currently reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. Refer to Note 10, “Segment Information” for additional information on the changes in reportable segments. All prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect the changes in reportable segments. On October 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of this standard, the Company recast its balance sheet presentation to reflect $5.9 million of deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2016 as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of its long-term debt. Prior to the adoption these costs were included within Other Assets.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Revenue from Contracts with Customers— In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. Subsequent to issuing ASU No. 2014-09, the FASB issued the following amendments concerning the adoption and clarification of ASU No. 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard for the Company from October 1, 2017 to October 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which further clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The new guidance requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the identification of the performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principals of those areas. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarification on assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes, measurement date for noncash consideration and completed contracts at transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Technical Corrections and Improvements, which provides corrections or improvements to certain aspects of the guidance issued in Update 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact that these ASUs will have on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity. Income Taxes — In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new standard requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The Company is planning to adopt this standard as of July 1, 2017. As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the Company had current deferred tax assets, net of current deferred tax liabilities, of $16.0 million and $18.0 million , respectively. Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position. As of September 30, 2016 , the Company had gross operating lease commitments of approximately $284.1 million . Upon adoption, a substantial portion of these lease commitments will be recorded at their net present value as a right of use asset and a lease obligation. Stock Compensation — In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The areas for simplification in this Update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows — In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows— In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the Company had total restricted cash amounts of $50.3 million and $51.0 million , respectively. The Company is currently evaluating the method and timing of the adoption of this standard. Business Combinations — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update provides guidance to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired, or disposed of, is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the acquisition, or disposition, is not a business. Under this update there will be fewer purchases that will be treated as business combinations. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles—Goodwill and Other — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The new standard is effective for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is planning to adopt this standard as of July 1, 2017 and currently evaluating the potential impact.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt	4. Long-Term Debt As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the Company’s long-term debt consisted of the following: (in thousands) June 30, September 30, Term loan principal; principal and interest are due in quarterly installments through January 31, 2021 $ 634,115 $ 639,030 Original issue discount on term loan, net of accumulated amortization (970 ) (1,178 ) Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization (5,567 ) (5,890 ) 627,578 631,962 Less current portion 6,554 6,554 Long-term debt $ 621,024 $ 625,408 Senior Secured Credit Facilities NMHI's senior credit agreement (the “senior credit agreement”), as amended, governs a $655.0 million Tranche B term loan facility (the “term loan facility”), of which $50.0 million was deposited in a cash collateral account in support of the issuance of letters of credit under an institutional letter of credit facility (the “institutional letter of credit facility”), and a $120.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “senior revolver”). The term loan facility has a 7 year maturity and the senior revolver has a 5 year maturity from the effective date, or January 31, 2014. All of the obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by NMHH and the subsidiary guarantors named therein. The senior credit agreement provides that NMHI may make one or more offers to the lenders, and consummate transactions with individual lenders that accept the terms contained in such offers, to extend the maturity date of the lender’s term loans and/or revolving commitments, subject to certain conditions, and any extended term loans or revolving commitments will constitute a separate class of term loans or revolving commitments. On May 25, 2017, NMHI entered into Amendment No. 5 to its senior credit agreement (the "repricing amendment"). Under the terms of the repricing amendment, the applicable interest margin for the term loan facility under the senior credit agreement decreased by 25 basis points for both alternate base rate ("ABR") borrowings and Eurodollar borrowings, and reduced the Eurodollar floor by 25 basis points. The repricing amendment also reset the period during which a 1.0% prepayment premium may be repriced for a repricing transaction (as defined in the senior credit agreement) until one year after the effective date of the repricing amendment. The senior revolver includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as the “swingline loans.” Any issuance of letters of credit or borrowing on a swingline loan will reduce the amount available under the senior revolver. As of June 30, 2017 , NMHI had no loans under the senior revolver and $47.4 million of letters of credit issued under the institutional letter of credit facility and $2.9 million of letters of credit issued under the senior revolver. As a result of the repricing amendment, borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest, at our option, at: (i) an alternate base rate ("ABR") equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate of Barclays Bank PLC, (b) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, and (c) the Eurodollar rate for an interest period of one-month plus 100 basis points (provided that the ABR rate applicable to the term loan facility will not be less than 2.00% per annum), plus 2.00% ; or (ii) the Eurodollar rate (provided that the Eurodollar rate applicable to the term loan facility will not be less than 0.75% per annum), plus 3.00% . Borrowings under the revolving and swingline loans bear interest at our option at (i) an alternate base rate ("ABR") equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate of Barclays Bank PLC, (b) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, and (c) the Eurodollar rate for an interest period of one-month plus 100 basis points (provided that the ABR rate applicable to the term loan facility will not be less than 2.00% per annum), plus 2.25% ; or (ii) the Eurodollar rate (provided that the Eurodollar rate applicable to the term loan facility will not be less than 0.75% per annum), plus 3.25% . NMHI is also required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the senior revolver at an initial rate of 0.50% of the average daily unutilized commitments thereunder. NMHI must also pay customary letter of credit fees. The senior credit agreement requires NMHI to make mandatory prepayments, subject to certain exceptions, on a percentage of NMHI's annual Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the senior credit agreement. NMHI determines whether or not a mandatory prepayment is required at the end of each fiscal year. NMHI was not required to make a prepayment for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 . Covenants The senior credit agreement contains negative covenants, including, among other things, limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, create liens on assets, transfer or sell assets, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or investments, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The senior credit agreement contains a springing financial covenant. If, at the end of any fiscal quarter, the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the senior revolver exceeds 30% of the commitments thereunder, it is required to maintain at the end of each such fiscal quarter a consolidated first lien leverage ratio of not more than 5.50 to 1.00 . This consolidated first lien leverage ratio stepped down to 5.00 to 1.00 during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017. The springing financial covenant was not in effect as of June 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016 as NMHI’s outstanding borrowings on the senior revolver did not exceed the threshold. Derivatives On January 20, 2015, NMHI entered into two interest rate swap agreements in an aggregate notional amount of $375.0 million in order to reduce the variability of cash flows of our variable rate debt. NMHI entered into these interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in the floating rate of interest on borrowings under the term loan. Under the terms of the swaps, NMHI will receive from the counterparty a quarterly payment based on a rate equal to the greater of 3-month LIBOR or 1.00% per annum, and NMHI will make payments to the counterparty based on a fixed rate of 1.795% per annum, in each case on the notional amount of $375.0 million , settled on a net payment basis. The swap agreements expire on March 31, 2020. The fair value of the swap agreements, representing the price that would be received to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, was $0.9 million and $6.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The fair value was recorded in Other accrued liabilities and was determined based on pricing models and independent formulas using current assumptions. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swap will be reported by the Company in interest expense. There was no ineffectiveness associated with the swap during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 , no r was any amount excluded from ineffectiveness testing for the period.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	5. Stock-Based Compensation 2014 Plan Civitas maintains a 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). As of June 30, 2017 , the 2014 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 6,663,240 shares of common stock as stock-based awards, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance based restricted stock units ("PRSUs"). Stock Options Stock option activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 is presented below: (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Outstanding at September 30, 2016 709,832 $ 19.42 Granted 314,757 16.87 Exercised 35,196 17.00 Forfeited 72,400 19.19 Expired 2,864 25.41 Outstanding at June 30, 2017 914,129 $ 18.64 8.1 $ 408 Exercisable at June 30, 2017 352,597 $ 18.49 7.0 $ 154 Vested or expected to vest as of June 30, 2017 887,482 $ 18.64 8.0 $ 395 The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options. Options granted under the 2014 Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were valued using the following assumptions: 2017 Risk-free interest rate 1.83% - 2.08% Expected term 6 years Expected volatility 36.16% - 36.21% Expected dividend yield — % The Company recognizes the fair value of the stock option awards as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantee, which equals the vesting period. Restricted Stock Unit Awards (RSUs) Restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 is presented below: Number of Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Non-vested units at September 30, 2016 442,528 $ 21.24 Granted 530,660 17.73 Forfeited 70,205 19.26 Vested 119,823 22.46 Non-vested units at June 30, 2017 783,160 $ 18.85 The fair value of each restricted stock unit was determined based on the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant. The Company recognizes the fair value of the RSUs as stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantee, which equals the vesting period. Performance Based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs) During the nine months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company awarded 45,624 PRSUs under the 2014 Plan. The number of PRSUs earned is determined based on the Company's attainment of predefined performance targets set by the Compensation Committee. The number of PRSUs earned will be determined based on the Company's actual performance against established performance targets during the three year performance period (the “Performance Condition”). The number of PRSUs earned based on the Performance Condition may range from 0% to 200% of the initial award. All of the PRSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, which will be issued following the end of the three -year performance period, subject to the actual achievement of the predefined performance targets. The per share fair value of the PRSUs was determined based on the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant. To calculate compensation expense, the Company forecasts the likelihood of achieving the predefined performance targets and calculates the number of PRSUs expected to be earned. A summary of PRSU activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 is as follows: Number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Non-vested units at September 30, 2016 42,467 $ 19.84 Granted 45,624 19.85 Forfeited 3,586 19.84 Vested — — Non-vested units at June 30, 2017 84,505 $ 19.84 The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for stock options, RSUs and PRSUs under the 2014 Plan of $2.2 million and $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and $1.8 million and $4.7 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Unit Plan Prior to October 1, 2015, NMH Investment maintained the Amended and Restated 2006 Unit Plan (the “Unit Plan”). Under the Unit Plan, NMH Investment issued units of limited liability company interests pursuant to such plan, consisting of Class B Common Units, Class C Common Units, Class D Common Units, Class E Common Units, Class F Common Units, Class G Common Units and Class H Common Units. These units derived their value from the value of the Company. On October 1, 2015, in connection with a secondary offering, NMH Investment distributed all of the 25,250,000 shares of our common stock it held to its existing members in accordance with their respective membership interests and pursuant to the terms of the NMH Investment's Limited Liability Company Agreement and the management unitholders agreements (the “Distribution”). The Distribution triggered the vesting condition for the Class H Common Units and the acceleration of unvested Class F Common Units. As a result, the Company recorded compensation expense of $10.5 million related to these awards during the quarter ended December 31, 2015. This expense is not deductible for tax purposes. The expense is included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the Distribution, the Unit Plan has concluded and there will be no future issuances under this plan.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill As a result of recent changes in the Company's organizational structure, which took effect on October 1, 2016, the Company now has three reportable business segments: the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (“I/DD”) segment, the Post-Acute Specialty Rehabilitation Services (“SRS”) Segment and the At-Risk Youth (“ARY”) segment. The Adult Day Health (“ADH”) operating segment, which was previously aggregated in the Human Services segment, is included in Corporate and Other. For more information refer to Note 10, "Segment Information." The changes in goodwill for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 are as follows (in thousands): I/DD SRS ARY Corporate and Other Total Balance as of September 30, 2016 $ 104,155 $ 81,909 $ 73,464 $ 14,132 $ 273,660 Impact of segment change 35,212 — (35,212 ) — — Goodwill acquired through acquisitions 626 461 — 13,849 14,936 Acquisition adjustments — — — (6 ) (6 ) Balance as of June 30, 2017 $ 139,993 $ 82,370 $ 38,252 $ 27,975 $ 288,590 As a result of the changes in the organizational structure (Refer to Note 10, "Segment Information"), the Company's reporting units composed of the Company's I/DD and ARY operations changed. On October 1, 2016, the Company allocated goodwill between the new reporting units based on the relative fair values. The Company estimated the fair value of the new reporting units using the income approach. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and calculates the fair value of a reporting unit by estimating the after–tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting them to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. In our discounted cash flow analysis, we forecasted cash flows for the new reporting units for each of the next ten years and applied a long term growth rate to the final year of the forecasted cash flows to estimate terminal value. The cash flows were then discounted to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The discount rates, which are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections used in the discounted cash flow analysis, are based on estimates of the weighted average costs of capital of market participants relative to each respective reporting unit. This change was considered a triggering event that indicated a test for goodwill impairment was necessary as of October 1, 2016. The Company completed impairment tests of the new reporting units as of October 1, 2016 and it was determined that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired as the fair value of the reporting units significantly exceeded the carrying value.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	8. Fair Value Measurements The Company measures and reports its financial assets and liabilities on the basis of fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy for disclosure has been established to show the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements, as follows: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs (quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability). Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These values are generally determined using pricing models which utilize management estimates of market participant assumptions. Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 .

The Company’s interest rate-swap agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the swap agreements is recorded in current liabilities (under other accrued liabilities) in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these agreements is determined based on pricing models and independent formulas using current assumptions that included swap terms, interest rates and forward LIBOR curves and the Company’s credit risk. Contingent consideration. In connection with the acquisition of Mass Adult Day Health (“Adult Day Health”) in September 2014 and Cassell in January 2015, the Company recorded contingent consideration pertaining to the amounts potentially payable to the former owners upon the businesses achieving certain performance targets. The Company settled the remaining Adult Day Health and Cassell contingent consideration obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2017 for $6.1 million . The following table presents a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities (acquisition related contingent consideration) measured on a recurring basis for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The three months ended June 30, 2017 is excluded from the table because the associated contingent consideration obligations were settled as of March 31, 2017.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate for the interim periods is based on management’s estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate for the applicable year. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given period. The rates differ from the federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible permanent differences such as meals and nondeductible compensation. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company’s effective income tax rate was 37.5% and 38.5% , respectively, as compared to an effective tax rate of 47.0% and 65.8% , respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 . The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily due to $10.5 million of stock-based compensation expense related to certain awards under our former equity compensation plan that vested in October 2015, which was not deductible for tax purposes. The Company files a federal consolidated return and files various state income tax returns and, generally, is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the taxing authorities for years prior to September 30, 2014. The Company did not have a reserve for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 . The Company does not expect any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as charges to income tax expense.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	10. Segment Information The Company previously operated its business in two reportable segments, Human Services and Post-Acute Specialty Rehabilitation Services ("SRS"). Effective as of October 1, 2016, the Company re-aligned its businesses within our Human Services reporting segment to a service line organizational structure. As a result of such change our Human Services reporting segment has been divided into two reporting segments: the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities ("I/DD") segment and the At-Risk Youth ("ARY") segment. This change aligns with the Company's service offerings and how it conducts and operates its businesses commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Adult Day Health ("ADH") operating segment, which was previously aggregated in the Human Services segment, is now included in Corporate and Other. There has been no change to the SRS segment. The change results in the Company having three reportable business segments: the I/DD segment, the SRS segment, and the ARY segment. Through the I/DD segment, the Company provides home- and community-based human services to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through the SRS segment, the Company delivers services to individuals who have suffered acquired brain injury, spinal injuries and other catastrophic injuries and illnesses. The operations of the SRS segment have been organized by management into two operating segments, NeuroRestorative and CareMeridian, based upon service type. The NeuroRestorative operating group provides behavioral therapies to brain injured clients in post-acute community settings and the CareMeridian operating group provides a higher level of medical support to traumatically injured clients . Through the ARY segment we provide home- and community-based human services to youth with emotional, behavioral and/or medically complex challenges. Each operating group is aligned with the Company’s reporting structure and has a segment manager that is directly accountable for its operations and regularly reports results to the chief operating decision maker, which is the Company's Chief Operating Officer, for the purpose of evaluating these results and making decisions regarding resource allocations. The Company evaluates performance based on EBITDA.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposition of Business	11. Disposition of Business During fiscal 2015, the Company decided to discontinue ARY services in the states of Florida, Louisiana, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas. These operations were included in the ARY segment. On December 1, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its ARY operations in the state of North Carolina. As consideration, the buyer assumed our lease and service delivery obligations in exchange for the assets of the business, excluding working capital items, and a cash payment of $1.3 million to the buyer. Upon the completion of the sale, the Company recorded a loss of $1.3 million . The closures of the ARY operations in Florida and Louisiana were complete as of December 31, 2015 and the closures of our ARY operations in Indiana and Texas were completed in January 2016. During the nine months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company recorded cash charges of approximately $2.1 million , consisting of severance costs of $0.5 million and lease termination costs of $1.6 million . The Company assessed the disposal group under the guidance of ASU 2014-08, Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity and concluded that the closure of the disposal group does not represent a "strategic shift" and therefore has not been classified as discontinued operations for any of the periods presented. However, the Company has concluded that the disposal group was an individually significant disposal group. There were no operating results for the disposal group during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 . Pretax losses of the disposal group were $0.2 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Pretax losses of the disposal group for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 included exit costs of $2.1 million disclosed above.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	12. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share, if applicable, is computed by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable on the exercise of outstanding options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units when dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Numerator Net income $ 7,361 $ 4,816 $ 17,019 $ 6,527 Denominator Weighted average shares outstanding, basic 37,323,458 37,108,486 37,278,760 37,101,968 Weighted average common equivalent shares 172,030 143,858 134,504 145,816 Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted 37,495,488 37,252,344 37,413,264 37,247,784 Net income per share, basic $ 0.20 $ 0.13 $ 0.46 $ 0.18 Net income per share, diluted $ 0.20 $ 0.13 $ 0.45 $ 0.18 Equity instruments excluded from diluted net income per share calculation as the effect would have been anti-dilutive: Stock options 936,459 699,171 891,187 483,620 Restricted stock units 129,440 129,252 99,489 111,435

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Other Commitments and Contingencies	13. Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company is in the health and human services business and, therefore, has been and continues to be subject to numerous claims alleging that the Company, its employees or its independently contracted host-home caregivers (“Mentors”) failed to provide proper care for a client. The Company is also subject to claims by its clients, its employees, its Mentors or community members against the Company for negligence, intentional misconduct or violation of applicable laws. Included in the Company’s recent claims are claims alleging personal injury, assault, abuse, wrongful death and other charges. Regulatory agencies may initiate administrative proceedings alleging that the Company’s programs, employees or agents violate statutes and regulations and seek to impose monetary penalties on the Company. The Company could be required to incur significant costs to respond to regulatory investigations or defend against civil lawsuits and, if the Company does not prevail, the Company could be required to pay substantial amounts of money in damages, settlement amounts or penalties arising from these legal proceedings. The Company is also subject to potential lawsuits under the False Claims Act and other federal and state whistleblower statutes designed to combat fraud and abuse in the health care industry. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary awards that may incentivize private plaintiffs to bring these suits. If the Company is found to have violated the False Claims Act, it could be excluded from participation in Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides a mandate for more vigorous and widespread enforcement activity to combat fraud and abuse in the health care industry. The Company is also subject to employee-related claims under state and federal law, including claims for wage and hour violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act or state wage and hour laws, and claims for discrimination, wrongful discharge or retaliation. The Company currently has three pending complaints in California state court that allege certain wage and hour violations of California labor laws and seek to be designated as class-action. One such wage and hour complaint has been settled and preliminarily approved by the court. The Company's policy is to accrue for all probable and estimable claims using information available at the time the financial statements are issued. Actual claims could settle in the future at materially different amounts due to the nature of litigation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 , which is on file with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company completed changes to its organizational structure that resulted from a change in how the Company manages its business, allocates resources and measures performance. As a result, the Company has revised its reportable segments to reflect how management currently reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. Refer to Note 10, “Segment Information” for additional information on the changes in reportable segments. All prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect the changes in reportable segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	On October 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of this standard, the Company recast its balance sheet presentation to reflect $5.9 million of deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2016 as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of its long-term debt. Prior to the adoption these costs were included within Other Assets. 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Revenue from Contracts with Customers— In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. Subsequent to issuing ASU No. 2014-09, the FASB issued the following amendments concerning the adoption and clarification of ASU No. 2014-09. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard for the Company from October 1, 2017 to October 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which further clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The new guidance requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the identification of the performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principals of those areas. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarification on assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes, measurement date for noncash consideration and completed contracts at transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Technical Corrections and Improvements, which provides corrections or improvements to certain aspects of the guidance issued in Update 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact that these ASUs will have on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity. Income Taxes — In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new standard requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The Company is planning to adopt this standard as of July 1, 2017. As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the Company had current deferred tax assets, net of current deferred tax liabilities, of $16.0 million and $18.0 million , respectively. Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position. As of September 30, 2016 , the Company had gross operating lease commitments of approximately $284.1 million . Upon adoption, a substantial portion of these lease commitments will be recorded at their net present value as a right of use asset and a lease obligation. Stock Compensation — In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The areas for simplification in this Update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows — In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows— In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , the Company had total restricted cash amounts of $50.3 million and $51.0 million , respectively. The Company is currently evaluating the method and timing of the adoption of this standard. Business Combinations — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update provides guidance to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired, or disposed of, is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the acquisition, or disposition, is not a business. Under this update there will be fewer purchases that will be treated as business combinations. The new standard will be effective for the Company on October 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements. Intangibles—Goodwill and Other — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The new standard is effective for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is planning to adopt this standard as of July 1, 2017 and currently evaluating the potential impact.
