Improving Lives through Informed Treatment Guidance®

Acadia Healthcare’s Treatment Placement Specialists® (TPS) team provides complimentary treatment guidance and referrals for individuals who need personalized programming due to behavioral health and substance use concerns. As a free resource to licensed professionals, families, employer groups, first responders, higher education entities, and individuals in need, TPS empowers clients to feel confident in their treatment decisions, yielding stronger results and more positive recovery outcomes.

Services Offered by the TPS Team

Seeking treatment for mental health disorders, behavioral concerns, and substance use challenges can be immensely overwhelming, especially when navigating the admissions process. The TPS team works to make the process as simple and seamless as possible.

Pre-Treatment Consultation

We believe in involving clients in their treatment and recovery before residential or step-down care even begins. Treatment Placement Specialists® provide tailored treatment guidance to referents and families to empower clients to take ownership of their personal recovery goals.

Vetting Programs

Treatment Placement Specialists® help clients navigate the clinical options that best match their needs while ensuring that all programs are ethically and clinically sound. We will never refer clients to a treatment center that one of our team members has not personally visited and vetted.

Ongoing Communication During Treatment

Our team understands that the relationship between referent and client should continue throughout treatment. With a release of information (ROI) on file, we do everything in our power to ensure appropriate communication during residential treatment so that this relationship can continue.

Continued Care Planning & Assistance

We know that residential care is just the beginning of the journey to recovery. We also provide assistance with aftercare planning, outpatient referrals, and, when clinically appropriate, can ensure that your client returns to your practice for continued treatment.


Our TPS Team

We strategically place members of our TPS team across the country to increase access to care. This also allows us to form partnerships with healthcare professionals who already serve clients with addictions, chronic pain, mood disorders, eating disorders, mental health concerns, and trauma-related diagnoses.
