Charter Behavioral Health Systems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charter Behavioral Health Systems was an American private company that operated psychiatric treatment centers and hospitals. At one point it was the largest operator of such facilities in the US,[1] but in 2000 it declared bankruptcy and sold many of its facilities to other operators.[2]

At the time it filed for bankruptcy in 2000, it was 90 percent owned by Crescent Operating, Inc.[1][2]

It was based in Alpharetta, Georgia, and had locations in 21 U.S. states.[2]

Its television commercials were known for ending with the line, "If you don't get help at Charter, please, get help somewhere."[3]

Many of its former facilities, such as Provo Canyon School and Suncoast Behavioral Health Center, continue to operate under new ownership.
