In March of 2024, Chad Wable, the president and CEO of Advanced Behavioral Health (ABH) in Middletown, announced at a company retreat in Old Saybrook that he wanted to turn the $30 million not-for-profit state contractor into a one hundred-million-dollar company, according to multiple sources who were in attendance.

    In numerous off-the-record conversations, past and present ABH employees allege Wable essentially played fast and loose with state dollars by contracting with friends, creating new positions with hefty salaries charged to state contracts, and spending money in ways that raised concerns about the misuse of state grant money, including an attempt to create a new for-profit subsidiary.
