Abstract:

Georgia-based Charter Medical Corp. has four psychiatric hospitals in the state, making it North Carolina's largest private provider of drug-and alcohol-abuse treatment for the state's estimated 214,000 alcoholics and 19,500 drug addicts. The biggest problem faced by Charter and other providers like Amethyst in Charlotte and Laurinburg is that the people who need the services many times resist any suggestion that there is anything wrong with them.
