Re:      Psychiatric Solutions, Inc.
         Registration Statement on Form S-4
         File Number 333-127332


Dear Mr. Lee:

         Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the undersigned, on behalf of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. (the
"Registrant"), requests acceleration of the effective date of the
above-captioned Registration Statement, as then amended, to 10:00 a.m., Eastern
time, September 6, 2005, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

         In connection with this request to accelerate the effective date of the
Registration Statement, the Registrant acknowledges the following:

- -    should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or the
     staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing
     effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with
     respect to the filing;

- -    the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
     authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the
     Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of
     the disclosure in the filing; and

- -    the Registrant may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding
     initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws
     of the United States.







     If you have any questions regarding this letter, please call the
undersigned at (615) 312-5700 or our legal counsel, James H. Nixon, at (615)
244-6380.

                                             Very truly yours,


                                             By: /s/ Brent Turner
