Sequel Youth and Family Services Acquires Three Springs Inc.

Sequel Youth and Family Services (“Sequel”; www.sequelyouthservices.com) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Three Springs, Inc. (“TSI”; www.threesprings.com), a leading provider of specialized behavioral health treatment for adolescents. Three Springs Inc., headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, is a strategic and valued addition to Sequel. The acquisition extends the company’s geographic footprint, with the combined entity operating 22 programs nationwide and serving about 2,300 adolescents with approximately 1,400 staff members. The combined, nationally-scoped continuum of care now includes programs that serve public customers as well as private educational and therapeutic programming. Leadership at the TSI programs will remain unchanged. Three Springs’ referral sources, clients and families will continue to receive the same level of quality and support as both companies will work to ensure a seamless transition. The merger of these organizations creates a company that is stronger programmatically and financially, and positions Sequel to continue serving its customers with even greater excellence. Chairman Jay Ripley states: “Sequel is delighted to have been able to complete the combination with Three Springs and we look forward to great things ahead. Most importantly, we will stay true to the operating philosophy and core values shared by both Sequel and Three Springs which have made each of us independently successful in the past.”
