Rehab center in New Haven suddenly closes [Video]

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Following the death of their founder and CEO, Retreat Behavioral Health closed both its inpatient and outpatient facilities in New Haven.

Now, more than 160 employees are left in the dark as they wait on answers from the for-profit company, which owns treatment facilities for substance use and mental health in Florida, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
