Tim Blair, a spokesman for Acadia, said in a statement that the company had a zero-tolerance policy for behavior that could put staff or patients in danger. “We reject any notion that we put profits over patients,”
I reject your reality and substitute our profits.
Another comment said this company is publicly traded. Shareholders only care about profit, and not how it is achieved. Tim Blair is a blatant liar.
Acadia is a for-profit, publicly-traded disaster of a mental healthcare company. All of their facilities provide unethical care. Their turnover is universally off the charts because the working conditions are so awful. Every patient and every staff I’ve ever known who’s been through or worked at one of their facilities has nothing but awful things to say.
I’m always astonished by how little anyone cares about anyone else in modern day America. Exploiting other people, especially the weak, is just the most normal thing.
