IMPORTANT NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:

Dear Shareholder,

As I’m sure you are aware, we have scheduled a shareholder meeting on Wednesday, October 26 to approve our merger with Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. We want to remind all our shareholders to vote their shares.

We believe this merger presents a unique opportunity for us to significantly expand our presence in the behavioral health field by joining together with Acadia Healthcare, which is led by the former senior management team of Psychiatric Solutions, Inc. The merger will enable our current shareholders to participate in this exciting growth opportunity.

I urge you to vote in favor of this merger if you have not already done so.

Please feel free to call me directly at (978) 536-2777 should you need additional information or have questions.

Thank you,

Bruce Shear

Chairman and CEO
