Options Behavioral Health Hospital will close Oct. 9.

Acadia Healthcare, which operates Options and dozens of other psychiatric hospitals, confirmed the news in a Sept. 10 email to Mirror Indy.

“Following a careful and comprehensive review of the current landscape for programs and services offered by our network of affiliated facilities,” a company spokesperson wrote, “Acadia has made the decision to close four facilities, including Options.”

Acadia did not immediately respond to Mirror Indy questions about the three other facilities, including whether they are located in Indiana. The company also declined to answer questions about why it decided to shut down Options.

The closure comes about a year after Mirror Indy started investigating troubling reports at the Indianapolis-area mental health facility: Patients held against their will for insurance money. Violence breaking out on understaffed units. Widespread allegations of sex abuse. No 911 call for a hurt child.
