Charter Behavioral Health Systems was an American private company which 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 continue to operate under new ownership, such as Provo Canyon School and Suncoast Behavioral Health Center.
